The U.S. Olympic Committee is not too happy with Ryan Lochte. CEO Scott Blackmun said that further action is coming after the 32-year-old swimmer admitted to being intoxicated, and exaggerating what he called a robbery at a gas station during the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. They let down our athletes, Scott said. They let down Americans. In televised interviews that aired Saturday, Lochte backtracked and said he “over-exaggerated” the story. Police said Lochte and three of his swimming teammates ” all four were gold medalists ” vandalized a bathroom after a night of partying and armed guards confronted them and asked them to pay for the damage. Blackmun said Lochte’s story also harmed Brazil in how the storyline took a great deal of attention off the Rio Games themselves. He added, People are going to remember the incident, but that doesnt define these games.
