“The video does not clearly show anything.”

They show them at a gas station when Lochte said they were pulled over on the road....

They show them at the gas station after 6AM when Lochte said he had returned around 4 AM.

When I said "the video does not clearly show anything", it was in reference to where the gun was pointed. Yes, some of the video clearly showed things, but the part with the gun cannot be clearly seen.

So as for them "being pulled over", did you see them get out of the cab? Have you ever been drinking all night long? If I had gotten in the cab, and I was three sheets to the wind, I might have believed I had been pulled over when I was forced to get back out of the cab.

Why are people so intent on trying to find mistakes (which they are trying desperately to characterize as "lies") in an admittedly "drunk on his @$$" man? He's telling the event from what it looked like to him at the time.

That a drunk's memory and reality may not completely jive is a long known characteristic of drunkenness.

They show them at the gas station after 6AM when Lochte said he had returned around 4 AM.

Let me ask you again. Have you ever drank all night long? Apparently this sort of experience is not something you are familiar with. If a guy has been drinking all night long, it isn't a wonder that he can't remember what time he got home, and it wouldn't be a wonder if he couldn't remember what day it was.

Why do you and others think you need to nitpick the trivial details about which a drunk might have not remembered correctly, but somehow want to gloss over the proven evidence that someone did point a gun at him and take money from him?

You are missing the forest for the trees.
