Ryan Lochte's story didn't ring true to me from the start.
What a piece of shit. He and his swimming team mates made up that bullshit to cover for vandalizing a bathroom and getting caught by a security guard after a night of partying.
It's a misdemeanor legally and the assholes won't face jail time, but I don't blame Brazilians for being pissed off about a bunch of idiot Americans trying to cover their asses by capitalizing on a cultural stereotype. Lochte is 32, he's no kid.
And, it sucks that the fake robbed-at-gunpoint story has stolen the thunder and media coverage from athletes who've worked so hard to compete this week.
