As we all know, except for maybe those of you who are living under a rock, the Rio Olympics has been quite the whirlwind for a number of athletes. Simone Biles went home with four gold medals and the reigning champ Michael Phelps walked away with his 23rd gold medal. But unfortunately, while some walked away with medals, others were walking away from the Olympics with their heads hung in shame.
Over a week ago, it was reported that while out in Rio, fan favorite swimmer Ryan Lochte and two other Olympic swimmers were held at gunpoint and robbed. Lochte had been interviewed about the incident, being quoted to even say that when they were being asked for their money, his only response was "whatever."
But as they say, only time will tell. And as the events of the night unraveled, it seems as though the men involved in this whole incident were nothing but liars. What truly occurred that night was the three men went into a gas station in Rio belligerently drunk, where they proceeded to trash the bathroom of this very facility.
Where afterward, they were confronted by guards with guns, but never were they directed at Lochte's forehead as previously stated. Apparently, instead of coming clean with this whole ordeal from the get-go the men felt the need to lie and Lochte went back to the US only days later.
While the story begins to unfold, there are several questions being asked as to what will happen to Ryan Lochte's swimming career. One being that a ban from swimming is definitely on the table. It'll be interesting to see how this story unfolds.
