American swimmers lied

They weren't "mugged" at gunpoint as they claimed. In fact they vandalised a service station bathroom and had to be subdued by a security guard.
I hope they are charged for what they did

there should be a charge of 'bringing the games into disrepute'

perhaps if found guilty you cant be in the next olympics.

I hope the three swimmers that have been detained get their own back on the weasel that got away once they get home. I know I would

Poor form some of these elite athletes think they are GOD and this lot need a good wake up call to bring them back to the real world.

i rekon the athletes (all of them) should be given a choice, for the duration of the games whilst living in the provided units there is no going out partying, drinking, sight seeing ect ect. your here to perform your sport, thats your job.

if you want to do those other things thats fine, pack your bags and officially leave the games, thus becomming a member of the public.

for goodness sakes, its 2 weeks, cant you just not be morons for 2 weeks?

if your finished your sport and you want to be part of the closing cerimony you must stay inside the games and stay sober.

too many athletes finish their part of competeing and think its party time, no its not, your representing your country until the close of the games unless you pack your bags and leave.

Brought down the reputation of Brazil in the world media only for their own selfishness.

Ban them from the sport for life as they do not have the integrity nor role model abilities that is required.

It comes with the turf.

We all agree that those swimmers need punishment, but unlike the Aussie girls that stayed the night aeay from the camp and got banned from the closing ceremony, those hooligans are American with gold medals and will get away with a slap on the wrist.

Crazy world we live in.

I sincerely hope so, Stawka.

They and other big-heads need to learn some lessons.

Brazilian laws are different to American, hopefully much stricter.

I hope they do not consent to a search, remain silent, and request a jury trial. I hope the judge allows evidence from all sides and don't restrict anything that can clear them of any wrong doing. I hope they do not get raped in a holding cell and beaten up with reports being leaked that they did it to themselves.

just sayin

Try reading the thread Joanie. No search needed.

And other country's laws are not American laws.

Americans abroad seem to think they are teflon

I wasn't there and did not see what happened, I doubt you were eather. Difference is I won't blindly believe those who I know to have lied in the past. Will you?

If I see something on the news that involved the cops, I know for certain that I'm only getting the cop's side of it. That's the way the news agencies always report it. If they seldon do insert in the other side of it, they will always lend more credibility to the police agencies version. So it's a smart bet that exactly the oppisite of what gets reported is what happened. How do I know this?, I have seen it first hand too many times.

I know !

In this case the other side had already been reported before the cops got involved.

The cctv footage of Lochte going through security at the Olympic Village clutching the wallet he said had been stolen wouldn't have helped his cause.
