[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speedo has pulled their sponsorship for Lochte.  [/quote]

Yea that's such BS. He was drunk and he's apologized enough. It's ridiculous. Get over it.[/quote]

Please. If I were a corporate sponsor I'd do the same thing. Why risk that a bad boy at the end of his career gets into more trouble and tarnishes your name -- when their are dozens of young, up and coming swimmers who will go to the next world championships/Olympics etc. with no history of causing trouble?[/quote]

Well hopefully he's been smart with his money and saved most of it. Who even cares about Speedo[/quote]

Speedo is a HUGE sponsor in the swimming world and likely was his main source of income. But yeah -- he's been around forever and has made a lot of money; net worth is supposed to be around $6 million. Plus Speedo isn't his only sponsor -- I think there are 5-6 others. The bigger names in those are Ralph Lauren and Marriott and then there are some unknowns like a Japanese mattress company (which said earlier it'll stick with him). As long as he hangs on to at least 1 of the big names, he's fine. [/quote]

Interesting how quick his team is on it. The Speedo news was announced in the last hr. His website now only lists his sponsors as Ralph Lauren and Airweave (the mattress company) -- Speedo is gone. I'm guessing Marriott was a sponsor for earlier games but not for 2016 -- he had a bunch of others in 2012 that didn't stick with him in 2016 likely bc he's an aging swimming who isn't going to win 5 medals/games now; at the 2012 games he had the likes of Gatorade; Gillette; Mutual of Omaha; in addition to Speedo and Ralph Lauren.[/quote]
