How could they have destroyed a non-existent restroom? It's sounding more and more like extortion at each telling.

...... I did not witness anyone breaking it open. I am unsure why, but while we were in that area, Ryan pulled to the ground a framed metal advertisement that was loosely anchored to the brick wall.

No, this sounds like weasel word horsesh!t equivocation of the Clinton kind, frankly.

Everything is so innocent! "I didn't personally see a busted in door"......."okay, he pulled down a framed metal advertisement that was too loosely attached......horsesh!t" Are we to believe not that the advertisement sign so loosely attached was just begging for it?

This whole apologism for elitists should stop.

I tell the Brazilian Government what it needs to hear to get my passport back. Then I get the heck out of Dodge.

I’ve heard no one mention what language the man with a badge spoke.

“Man with badge, pulls gun, demands money.”

Wonder how many others were targeted?

[plain talk]

It’s hard to sift through these stories to know just what happened but this account is more believable than anything else I have heard. Gas station attendant sees the guys go to back and hears them destroy something back there and calls security who then extort money (as usual in these hellholes).

Sounds like a shakedown robbery to me.

Nothing good happens after one am

“framed metal advertisement that was loosely anchored “
Well if it was loosely anchored by all means tear it down.

I stand behind the actions of the swimmers, other than Lochte tearing the sign down.

They were held at gunpoint and forced to hand over money for non-existent damages.

Liars!

Drunken sots who have about as much business representing America in the Olympics as Hillary has of being our president!

According to this narrative the four US athletes left an event at 6:00 AM that was attended by other swimmers from several countries, and were headed back to Olympic Village in a taxi. This really begs the question, what kind of “event” closes out at that hour of the day?

Everything I need to know about Rio I learned from this video:

It’s beginning to sound like Lochte was right ... but he exaggerated.

I knew the whole thing was a scam, the moment Costas was given the job of misleading us.

Costas has always been anti-american, just like Brian Williams.

Why did Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen have to pay the security guards for the alleged vandalism of Ryan Lochte? Collective guilt?
