Ryan Lochte may or may not go Dancing with the Stars . He also may or may not go to prison. The moronic swimmer – who has won 12 medals in his Olympic career, yet very few fans – has officially been charged with a crime by Brazilian authorities. Late on Thursday, officials in that country charged Lochte with falsifying a police report, stemming from an incident early on the morning of August 14. For those somehow unaware of what Lochte allegedly did, a refresher: He and three U.S. swimming teammates were out late partying in Rio. Which is definitely not a crime. But Lochte then told the press that the quartet got pulled over in a taxi by a group of thugs who pretended to be policemen. He claimed they flashed a badge and ordered the Olympians to the ground at gunpoint. Lochte even made himself sound all tough, saying he initially refused to listen to these supposedly armed criminals. But then police in the area looked into the allegations and could not find evidence any crime had been committed. Lochte had already bolted back home to the United States, but his teammates had their passports confiscated and were forced to come clean to the police. In doing so, the admitted that a drunken Lochte had vandalized a gas station and the teammates did NOT get robbed. Yes, a gun was pulled on them, but by a security guard who demanded they pay for the damage they had caused at the gas station. Ryan Lochte Takes “Full Responsibilty” for “Immature Behavior” Lochte initially admitted he was not ” careful and candid ” enough in the way he originally outlined what had happened. But the public did not respond well to this half-assed apology, prompting Lochte to sit down with Matt Lauer and try again. This time, he did take “full responsibility,” fighting off (fake?) tears while saying he let his teammates down and adding: “I don’t want them to think that I left them dry. I took away from their accomplishments by being immature for one night. That’s what hurts the most.” Still. He never came out and confessed to his complete lying. Ryan Lochte: “Drunk Frat Boy” Song Will Lochte actually go to prison for his misguided explanation of events? It’s possible , at least. Brazilian officials have already summoned the swimmer to Rio for a hearing, but here’s the thing: the charge is not an extraditable offense. He can’t be forced to show up in any court. Moreover, yes, the charge could conceivably land the athlete in jail for up to six months, but there’s a better chance Lochte beats Michael Phelps in a race tomorrow than he spends any time behind bars.

Oops, their bad! The following celebrities haven't just misled the public on a few occasions. They've been caught telling monumental, HUGE lies! These lies were so bold, one almost has to admire them for their audacity. Almost, that is. See what we mean below… 1. Ryan Lochte Ryan Lochte claimed he was held up and robbed at gunpoint during the Rio Olympics. He failed to mention that he actually vandalized a gas station bathroom and the person holding the gun was a security guard who was trying to control Lochte and his teammates. 2. Brian Williams Brian Williams was paid to deliver the news for NBC. But he delivered lies about his experience in Iraq when telling viewers in January of 2015 that a helicopter he was riding in many years earlier had been shot down. It hadn’t been. 3. Steve Rannazzisi Steve Rannazzisi claimed in 2009 that he narrowly escaped death while inside one of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2011. But… nope. He wasn’t there at all. 4. Bill Clinton Clinton once said he did not have sex with “that woman,” Monica Lewinsky, back when he was President and she was an intern. He later had to admit that his penis was in her mouth on more than one occasion. 5. Lance Armstrong Remember all those years that Armstrong spend VEHEMENTLY denying that he ever took performance enhancing drugs? He finally came clean and admitted to it all during an interview with Oprah. 6. Brandy In 2002, Brandy stunned fans when she announced she was pregnant … and had secretly gotten hitched to producer Robert Smith in 2001. The couple then starred on the reality show Brandy: Special Delivery, which tracked the birth of daughter Sy’rai in summer 2002. A year later, the couple announced its separation, but Smith waited another year to reveal that the two were never actually married; they faked it to protect the artist’s image. View Slideshow
First the Olympic swimmer said he was robbed at gunpoint by fake cops on Sunday in Rio. Slowly, his story has evolved, revealing there actually was no robbery. Instead, Lochte, Jimmy Feigen, and two other teammates were caught on camera vandalizing a gas station bathroom.
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
