AS the Rio Olympics ended, the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) celebrated its gold medals, its medal count and the continued domination of its athletes.

    “But it was not perfect,” CEO Scott Blackmun said. “We had the one regretful incident with our swimmers.”

    Ryan Lochte claimed last Sunday that he had been robbed of his money at gunpoint by men impersonating police, along with U.S. swimmers Jimmy Feigen, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz.

    Soon, a Rio police investigation was launched, inconsistencies in the stories had been found and the tale spun off into one of drunk swimming bros vandalizing a gas station bathroom and then paying money to make it go away.

    Blackmun said that there could be more repercussions for a controversy that embarrassed Team USA.

    “We are going to have further action on this when we get back to the U.S.,” he said. “The question of what the consequences are for the behavior is something our Games Administrative Board will take a look at.”(SD-Agencies)
