It would've worked--but an arrogant coward had to open his mouth.

You see Sparky, American laws and culture only apply in America.

Exactly. When in Rio, you can be detained and arrested for anything or nothing. Crime is rampant, including throughout the police.

America's no slouch in this department.

Please. There is absolutely no one on this thread who sounds like they came from Fairfax Underground.

Many of us think Lochte is a complete dumbass, but a) was robbed (AS VIDEO BACKS UP) & b) doesn't deserve to be trapped in Brazil over this.

Well, he's not trapped in Brasil so I guess he's come out ahead on it all.

You actually do sound like a FFU if you remotely believe that these assholes were robbed or that they deserve no consequences.

Agree. These idiots thought they could get out of whatever crap they pulled due to the incompetent authorities and their general arrogance. Too bad for them.

They paid for it (willingly or not) to the satisfaction of the owner.

They did not file a police report.

So, why the overkill police involvement? The only explanation is that Brazil is embarassed. Who the hell cares if Lochte says he was robbed and he was or wasn't or it was his interpretation? He didn't name a person. It isn't slander. I can say I'm the queen of England and that doesn't make it true, but it doesn't mean my passport should be confiscated either.

It's a matter of honor. Yes, Brazil legit has terrible crime. But you don't get to lie about it and trash talk them and say this lie on national TV. If Lochte were a gentleman he would apologize. But he has no honor. No surprise there.
