Sorry I don’t hold a drunk and stupid Lochte as a oracle of truth either, he did “lie” with his story of being stopped in a taxi cab. He did lie about his watch and wallet being stolen, when 30 minutes after the so called robbery he went through a security check point where everyone had their wallets and watches.

Sorry I don’t believe Lyin’ Ryan either

WE have more important causes to work on, then this self inflicted mess.

Did you not see the video? He was in the Cab when the Rio police officers ran up and banged on the windows and demanded he get out.

He was in a taxi cab, and he was forced to get out of it by Rio police who then pointed a gun at him.

He did lie about his watch and wallet being stolen, when 30 minutes after the so called robbery he went through a security check point where everyone had their wallets and watches.

Okay, I haven't seen this before. Do you have a link which says he claimed that his watch was stolen? What I heard on the news is that he just claimed to have been robbed, and it was the Rio police who pointed out that he still had his watch on the video when they came into the hotel.

This is what I found that he said:

"And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, 'Get down,' and I put my hands up, I was like 'whatever.' He took our money, he took my wallet — he left my cell phone, he left my credentials."

The Rio police interpreted the fact that he still had his watch as "proof" that he wasn't robbed.

No, that's not proof that a robbery didn't happen.
