Lochte Suspended 10 Months For Rio Incident

September 7, 2016

Ryan Lochte won't be representing the U.S. in the swimming pool for a while.  USA Swimming and the U.S. Olympic Committee are suspending Lochte 10 months for his escapades in Rio last month.  

The 12-time Olympic medalist is accused of fabricating a story about he and three fellow U.S. swimmers being robbed at gunpoint at a Rio gas station late at night.  Brazilian police say the four men actually vandalized the gas station bathroom and were detained by security guards.
