Brazilian police say Lochte, US swimmers were not robbed (Yahoo Sports)

Brazilian police said Thursday that swimmer Ryan Lochte and three U.S. teammates were not robbed after a night of partying, and the intoxicated athletes instead vandalized a gas station bathroom and were questioned by armed guards before they paid for the damage and left. The police account came in direct contrast to claims from Lochte’s attorney earlier in the week. The swimmers could potentially face punishment – probation, suspension, a fine or expulsion – under USA Swimming’s code of conduct.
