Quote"The behavior of these athletes is not acceptable, nor does it represent the values of Team USA or the conduct of the vast majority of its member," said USOC CEO Scott Blackmun.
Brazilian police have accused the athletes of vandalism.

Star Olympian Ryan Lochte has stuck by his story that he and three other American swimmers were mugged at gunpoint in Rio de Janeiro last weekend. As far as Brazilian police are concerned, Lochte is lying.
The police early on had doubts about the 32-year-old swimmer's veracity.
First, the Rio cops learned on social media that four Americans had reputedly been mugged -- a story Lochte told in hair-raising detail to the U.S. media -- said Civil Police chief Fernando Veloso at a press conference Thursday. Detectives hit the streets to find out if this stain on Rio's reputation as a host of the Games was true.
They tracked down witnesses, including three of Lochte's fellow swimmers at the scene, reviewed surveillance tapes and made a ruling on whether the accounts looked or sounded like a robbery.
Police concluded that the only crimes committed were by Lochte and his cronies. Either one or all of them vandalized a gas station, which initiated a confrontation with security guards, Veloso said. No criminal charges were initially brought because the athletes coughed up a small amount of money to pay for the damages, he said.
"The surveillance tapes show that there was no violence against the athletes at the gas station," Veloso said. "Their claim that they are a victim of an assault or robbery or any kind of violence is not true."

im embarass forreal
dumbasses
QuoteThe Brazilian police have now interviewed the other three swimmers with Lochte -- James Feigen, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz -- and confirmed no robbery happened that night, Veloso said. Lochte returned to the United States before police could secure his passport to ensure his availability as they did the others.
Officials said Conger and Bentz spoke with police Thursday at the tourist police office. Later, the two swimmers were seen at the airport, apparently on their way home.
Veloso says the other swimmers say it was Ryan Lochte who created the lie. "The only person that continues to say there was a robbery is (Lochte)," Veloso said after the press conference.

There's plenty of surveillance footage showing what happened and footage even showing them with their watches and wallets. They even lied about what time they left the club as well. These dummies told lie after lie that's why Lochte left so quickly he KNEW he was lying.
