As a mother, I can assure you that you are right.
Why would Lochte even want to publicize that something happened?
What makes it even more offensive is that Locate tried making himself a 'macho man' by saying he and his teammates were ordered to lay on the ground and he said the others did but he balked and said he wasn't going to lay down - and that's when the guy put a gun to his forehead and he 'complied'.
What a complete and utter JERK! He tried to make himself 'braver' than his teammates by protesting in his b.s. story.
Kiss those millions goodby, Locate, and just think - your own mother outted your lie because you are such a little worm.
That's where I'm at on this. From reading online, it's not like this hasn't happened to tourists before in Brazil. They are acting like partying in Rio is a crime and I believe all the swimmers were of legal age to do so.
Partying in Rio, say it isn't so.......color me still very skeptical.

The egos of the multi-medalists is incredible. There are a few exceptions, and one great exception: Helen Maroulis, who is actually a sweet athlete (I’ve known her for years) and one tough kid. She won gold yesterday.
You would think that someone who has won medals at six separate Olympics would garner at least a little bit of attention, but the liberal stigma against shooting sports is overwhelming.
