US swimmers Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz have told police that they fabricated claims that they and their Olympic teammate Ryan Lochte were robbed at a gas station on Sunday. The sudden admission came as video was released in which the men can be seen running to and from the bathroom, spending over 10 minutes at the gas station a little after 6am in the morning. Sources have confirmed to DailyMail.com that Lochte and the group destroyed a gas station door and refused to pay for the damage until a security guard demanded they hand over money.

Two Olympic swimmers CONFESS Lochte armed robbery story WAS made up as Brazil cops release video of gang of four at gas station which they urinated on and vandalized before arguing with guard
When in Rio, do as the Rio-ins do ... Just sayin'
To: C19fan
Lochte is well known to be a bit of a moron, so this fits the pattern.

Idiots..and Ryan Lochte continued lying last night in a phone interview with 2nd Amendment hater Matt Lauer..said 100 percent that he was ROBBED..he should have learned from Bill Clinton and OJ Simpson how to look in front of the TV cameras and lie his a@@ off
To: C19fan
If true it's clearly wrong.But having some knowledge of Brazil (two visits,one which involved a friend being robbed at gunpoint in Rio) I'm very,very suspicious of this story.Brazil is not *Third* World...it's *Fourth* World.Corrupt to the core.It's Mexico speaking Portuguese.It must be acknowledged that government officials routinely threaten people...particularly foreigners...in many,many ways.
My money's still on armed robbery.

I don’t believe the denial. I think Brazil might be the deceiver here.

What do you mean by “ugly Americans?” I saw no mention of Hillary in this article.
To: C19fan
Thanks for reinforcing just about every nasty stereotype the world has about Americans, douchebags.

Hillary Clinton should read this story and hang her head in shame when she sees the public humiliation and worldwide disdain which these young men must and will face for their stupid attempt to lie in order to cover up their own personal actions!!!

Once they get back to the U.S. maybe we’ll learn the truth. Or maybe not. The Brazilian police presumably told them that they’d be held there in jail until they confessed. And I’m not sure that they’d want to anger the Brazilian mob, er, police, even after they leave.
