Ryan Lochte and Rowing

The U.S. swimmers that went out on the town drinking, including Ryan Lochte and said they were robbed at gunpoint counted on folks believing that Rio's reputation for being a hot bed of crime would cover up their rude behavior and lies. The problem is that they were drunk and there were multiple witnesses from cab divers, to security guards to a person that interpreted for the swimmers when they were made to pay for the damage they had done at a gas station.... and finally, there were the videos from the security cameras. As it turns out, Rio's reputation was not as shady as Lochte's.

The best part of this story comes from Mario Andrada, spokesman for the Rio 2016 organizing committee: “I understand this issue is under investigation so I can’t get into the details. But let’s give these kids a break, Sometimes you take actions that you later regret. They are magnificent athletes. Lochte is one of the best swimmers of all time. They made a mistake, they had fun, it’s part of life. Life goes on.” Andrada's measured response makes Lochte look like an even bigger ass. If that is possible?!
