[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the paper this morning the swimmers met with USOC and State Dept and everyone agreed not to talk about it and let it get resolved/blow over, and then Lochte walked across the street and gave a tv interview with his BS story.

I hope USOC finds some way to show that this is unacceptable-- even if it's meaningless like kicking him off the team.[/quote]

Attention seeker. Plain and simple. The other 3 didn't say much at all publicly -- maybe bc they were abiding by what the USOC/State Dept told them to do. 2 said nothing, and I think Gunnar Bentz tweeted out that he was safe.[/quote]

Eventually Feigen agreed that there was an armed robbery. This was Wednesday or Thursday, after everything was blowing up. [/quote]

That's because there WAS AN ARMED ROBBERY. Person points gun + demands money = armed robbery. Why aren't people getting that?!

Lochte isn't very smart, we all know that. He should not have done that iPhone interview with Billy Bush, but he was shaken up, he was caught off guard, he wasn't with his PR people...Not sure he knew any better so he did the interview. [/quote]

If you're overwhelmed and you go meet with the State Dept and the USOC and they say -- don't talk to anyone about it, let it blow over. In what universe does that translate to -- leave meeting; walk across the street; find Billy Bush; and give an interview?? Whether your PR guys are with your or not, you should be thinking -- State Dept/USOC told me not to talk, so I guess I'll leave here, go back to the village, and grab myself a pizza for lunch.[/quote]

This was after his mom blabbed to the press. He was approached by the media, it's not like he ran over to them to break the story. I'm not saying mistakes weren't made, but I believe those guys were wronged. Were the details matched up perfectly? No. Did they leave out their wrong doing? Yes. But that still doesn't excuse the fact that they were held at gunpoint and demanded to give up their cash.[/quote]
