The court confirmed in a statement this week that it tossed out the case after determining that Lochte’s robbery claim made to NBC did not constitute the filing of a fake report, a crime punishable in Brazil by up to 18 months in prison.
The Olympic swimmer, 32, and his fiancee Kayla Rae Reid, 25, welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Caiden Zane Lochte.
He knows a bit about being an underdog in the pool. But can Ryan Lochte learn how to come back after a self-inflicted fall?
U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun announced Sunday that further action is coming in the case of four swimmers whose story of a robbery at gunpoint grabbed headlines around the world.
Jack Conger, the swimmer from Rockville involved in the vandalism of a gas station in Rio de Janeiro along with fellow swimmer Ryan Lochte, issued a statement Saturday apologizing for his actions, but said he has told the truth from the beginning.
“He always does something. It’s better than the grills, okay,” the swimmer’s mother, Ileana Lochte said.
Ryan Lochte has another color in mind for the Olympics besides gold, silver and bronze.
Though Lochte has emerged victorious in multiple
events in the London 2012 games,
his comedic stunts are what has garnered the most
public attention.
