At the 2016 Rio Olympics, this Olympic medallist told the world he'd been robbed at gunpoint at a gas station — security footage told a rather different story.
The full story
Ryan Lochte claimed he was robbed at gunpoint during the 2016 Rio Olympics; investigators found he and teammates had drunkenly vandalized a gas station and embellished the story. He was suspended 10 months by USA Swimming and dropped by his major sponsors.
The clues we handed out
— Brazilian police said the 'robbery' was actually swimmers vandalizing a bathroom and being confronted by armed guards.
— He lost all four major sponsors within days and was suspended 10 months by USA Swimming.
— His catchphrase 'Jeah!' briefly had its own reality show attached.
— Only one swimmer in history has more Olympic medals than him. You know the one.
— Initials: R.L.
