Lochte, Feigen Coming to a jail cell soon in Brazil! |
Here is the latest from news reports....
"U.S. swimmers Ryan Lochte and Jimmy Feigen have been indicted for false reporting of a crime, Brazilian news outlet Globo reports.
Brazilian authorities confirmed the report to ABC’s Michael Del Moro.
Lochte, Feigen and two other swimmers initially claimed to have been robbed early Sunday morning in Brazil. After police found no evidence to support their allegations, the swimmers’ story began to unravel, and two of them reportedly admitted to fabricating the robbery.
Lochte and the swimmers instead allegedly vandalized a gas station on Sunday, with the station’s owner telling Globo the swimmers urinated on the walls. While attempting to leave, Lochte and the swimmers were stopped by security.
Security would eventually pull guns on the swimmers to ensure they would wait until the police arrived, Rio police confirmed Thursday.
Lochte, a 12-time Olympic medalist, is already back in the United States. "
Here is my take...
You cannot fix stupid, and Olympic athletes here in America have been treated as "God Like Figures" when in all reality they are nothing more than elite snobs who think they are above the law.
I had a lot of respect for Lochte, but today he is a wanted felony suspect.
You cannot go into another country and think that you can play under your own rules and laws. Nope.
Lesson learned.
