The United States Olympic Committee has apologized for what it called
the unacceptable behaviour of four US swimmers who falsely said they had
been robbed at gunpoint in Rio. Police questioned three of the gold
medal winners and say "they were not victims of the crimes they
claimed".
Ryan Lochte had initially said he and 3 other US swimmers James Feigen,
Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger were robbed at gunpoint when they were
returning by taxi from a club. But Rio's civil police head Fernando
Veloso refuted the claims, saying the 4 Olympic gold medalists had not
been robbed.
