This whole case is stupid. Had the Brazilians not made anything of it, the whole thing would have disappeared by now. Pulling the two swimmers off the plane, sweating out a "confession" to get them the finger the other two, and then letting them go is crazy. How is this different from all the other stories of athletes and other Olympics people being robbed?

My guess is that once back in the States they will go back to their original story and slam the Brazilian police.

Had Lochte not lied on TV the whole thing would have disappeared.

Had Lochte not told his mother about their visit to the gas station, none of this would have been in the news.
