I Was Rooting For You, Ryan Lochte—We Were ALL Rooting For You!

Brazilian police claim the Olympic swimmer and his teammates were never robbed, but did trash a gas station bathroom.

 We’ll admit we were hypnotized by Ryan Lochte’s soulful eyes and Adonis-like body. But if reports from Brazil are to be believed, the Olympic swimmer and his teammates made up their story about being robbed at gunpoint to cover drunkenly destroying a gas-station bathroom.

 According to Daily Mail police in Rio say Lochte, 32, and three other Team USA swimmers were intoxicated when they demolished the restroom, and it was a security guard who pulled a gun on them—demanding that they pay for damages.

“They stopped at a gas station and they were all really drunk. They went to the toilet and damaged it pretty badly,” a source tells the paper. “The security guy saw them and started arguing with them – telling them they had to pay. They refused and argued back. He pointed his gun at them and insisted they pay for the damage – they gave him some money and left.”

Security footage showing the athletes demolishing the bathroom and being stopped by the guard has surfaced.

 Swimmers Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were taken off a flight and detained by Brazilian police. A judge also ordered Lochte’s passport be seized, but he had already boarded a flight to Charlotte, North Carolina.

He even posed for a photo on his flight home with American Airlines flight attendant David Anthony, who posted the picture online with the caption, ’I couldn’t make it to #Rio for the Olympics this year, so the Olympics came to me. Now if only Ryan Lochte would go on a date with me!”

 Lochte maintains he and his fellow swimmers were really robbed. He told Matt Lauer footage of him laughing and smiling after the incident were a result of his being “in shock.”

“I wouldn’t make up a story like this nor would the others — as a matter of fact we all feel it makes us look bad,’ Lochte told Lauer. “We’re victims in this and we’re happy that we’re safe.”

His attorney, Jeff Ostrow says the athletes are being unfairly targeted for shining a light on Rio’s crime problem.

“When you have one of America’s athletes who comes out and said something happened to him that happens to people there every single day.”
