This all began Sunday, when Conger, Bentz, Lochte, and their other teammate, Jimmy Feigen, filed a police report which stated they’d been held at gunpoint. But Brazilian police were suspicious when the swimmers each gave different accounts of what happened.

US swimmer Ryan Lochte may have just found himself in some hot water. In what’s certainly the strangest story to emerge from the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Lochte claimed he and three of his teammates were robbed at gunpoint by thieves who initially posed as police officers. Yesterday, several media outlets reported that Lochte may be lying about the incident in an effort to cover up violent and destructive behavior by himself and his teammates. The reports surfaced in response to Brazilian authorities’ efforts to prevent Lochte and the other three swimmers – Jimmy Feigen, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz – from returning to the States while the investigation into the matter was ongoing. Believing they had sufficient reason to suspect that Lochte and company had lied about the robbery, police arrived at Rio’s Olympic Village with the intention of seizing the swimmers’ passports. Lochte, however, had already returned to the States. Now, his three teammates – two of him were removed from their flight home moments before the plane was scheduled to take off – are being detained by Brazilian officials. And it looks as though they’ve offered testimony that could spell big trouble for all four athletes. The Associated Press is reporting that Conger and Bentz have confirmed that the story Lochte told reporters on Sunday was fabricated. The swimmer reportedly made up the robbery lie in order to cover up a fight with a gas station security guard that took place after the guard attempted to prevent the men from urinating on a building and destroying property. Needless to say, the story doesn’t do much for the reputation of the US men’s swim team. As for what sort of legal consequences it may carry for Lochte and company, that remains to be seen. We’ll have further updates on this increasingly bizarre story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 19 Scandalous Sports Stories

Last week, the world was shocked by reports that Ryan Lochte and three other American swimmers were robbed at gunpoint following a night out with some of their fellow OIympians in Rio de Janeiro. In the days that followed, the story took a number of bizarre twists and turns, and now the US athletes and Brazilian authorities are offering up very different takes on the investigation that followed. According to reports issued by a number of media outlets this morning, Rio cops were authorized to seize the passports of Lochte and fellow swimmer James Feigen so that they would be forced to stay in Brazil until the investigation was completed. However, Lochte is already back in the States, and though the swimmer has yet to comment personally, his reps say they received no word of the the search and seizure warrant issued by Judge Keyla Blanc De Cnop. A lawyer for Lochte says the 32-year-old swimmer “would have stayed” in Rio’s Olympic Village had he been made aware of the warrant. Feigen’s whereabouts are currently unknown, but it is believed he has returned to the United States or is at least en route. The entire US swim team had reportedly moved out of the Olympic Village by the time police arrived on Wednesday morning. Lochte told reporters that he and the other athletes had their cash and wallets stolen by armed bandits who initially pretended to be police officers. Judge De Cnop now says the men gave conflicting accounts of the crime. Bizarrely, the judge also cited Lochte and company’s “attitudes” as further evidence that they misled authorities: “It seems like the victims arrived with an unshaken physical and psychological state, making jokes with each other,” says De Cnop. Lochte’s lawyer, Jeff Ostrow, says Brazilian authorities never gave any indication that anything was amiss. “They never said, ‘Stay around,'” Ostrow told reporters today. “Otherwise, I would have advised Ryan to stay.” We’ll have further updates on this increasingly bizarre story as more information becomes available.
