Brazilian police say Ryan Lochte and three other swimmers who claimed they were robbed had in fact destroyed a gas station toilet and refused to pay for the damage until a security guard waved a gun at them, DailyMail.com can disclose. A source with knowledge of the investigation said the four handed over money after the guard at the gas station insisted they pay. The version of events emerged as police in Rio prepared to quiz the taxi driver who picked up the four after they left a nightclub and resume questioning the three swimmers still in Brazil.

i like how gas stations attendants carry guns. He and his family probably own the operation, and lives in the little building in the back. Just like 50 years ago in the USA.

Throw the book at them. These guys are supposed to be representing our country, yet their juvenile actions shame us.

The old I was robbed destroying a gas station toilet excuse... Good one. And sounds like what happened. Arrogant Americans meet third world that won't take their crap.

It’s been my experience that elite athletes consider themselves entitled to walk over the “little people.”

"claimed they were robbed had in fact destroyed a gas station toilet and refused to pay for the damage until a security guard waved a gun at them"
-well even if that was the actual version of the story then that is still not justice. That's still robbery LOL. and who know if that version is even true.

In Guatemala most brick and mortar businesses have armed guards including gas stations.

Sorry but I tend not to believe anything the "police" in Rio say without; video back up, lie detector tests and a signed affidavit from God Almighty.
The police in Rio are, if possible, even more corrupt then the police in Venezuela and that is a tough standard to beat.

How do you destroy a gas station toilet? I don't know, but that Tex-Mex I had the other day made my toilet wish it was never born.

How do you destroy a toilet?
I would believe a bit of extortion by a security guard, before I could easily believe that.
