I have been to Rio several times and understand how things work and understand that when you are in a foreign country that you are subject to their laws and tradition of corruption.
The swimmers were acting like drunken idiots, peeing on the building and ripping down a sign on someone else’s property.
Any one of those actions would get you arrested in any town in the United States.
However, making up the story about being robbed by cops and having a gun held to your head is absolutely moronic.
Had they kept their mounts shut, there would have been no story at all and the Rio authorities would have never gotten involved.
The swimmers deserve a Gold Medal for Stupidity.
You: the Brazilian side of the story is one hundred percent true. The American side of the story is one hundred percent false.
Ok.
