[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recap for those who haven't heard: Ryan Lochte & three other US Olympic swim team members were allegedly robbed at gun point Sunday evening.  Now a Brazil judge has issued an order to seize Lochte & Feigen's passports, as Brazil want to hold both for further questioning.

Lochte's attorney says he is already back in the US and has no plans to return for follow up questioning.

Do you think the account was made up?  I can't figure out a motive, and think it's odd that FOUR individuals would be in on a false account.  At the same time it seems quite coincidental that out of all of the athletes, this happened to Lochte.

FALSE -  Embarrassing drunk frat boy behavior.  And I mean BOY behavior not behavior of a 32 year old man.  Why lie?  No one would have even known about incident if Lochte didn't lie.  I can't believe people on this forum are trying to defend his behavior or justify.  Would they do this if it were any of the AA track and field men pissing all over and tearing down signs.  [/quote]

First of all, men in every country do piss outside if they can't find a bathroom. Fact of life.

Second, if AA athletes pissed outside and tore down a sign (even if they embellished about it!), and then got pulled off a plane in Rio and were not allowed to go home?  You're absolutely crazy if you don't think Americans would be up in arms, demanding their return. [/quote]

News flash. Pissing outside on private property you will receive a ticket if caught.  I am sure each country has their own set of rules. Regardless wherever you are it's inappropriate behavior but I believe it was the destruction of property that created the problem.  I am not defending the security guards behavior anymore than I would defend a US police officer for using unnecessary force when the situation is not called for.  But you can't just behave badly in another
 country.  Pulling the men off the planes for false testimony or needing to interview further for their own investigation is not uncommon.  Also, Lochte and the other swimmers said there wasn't a gun pointed at his head.   Lesson learned watch your behavior in another country, your rights are not the same as if you were in US.[/quote]

So, the main thing I'm loving here is how confident you are! Sounds like you got it figured out more than probably almost anyone!

Men usually don't get a ticket for pissing outside. Even if they did, it usually wouldn't be paid at gunpoint.

I wonder how many PPs actually live in DC. I have seen many men piss outside and commit minor vandalism (including black men). No consequences![/quote]
