Ryan Lochte’s fake robbery scandal at the Rio 2016 Olympics made global headlines and drew some unwanted attention and repercussions for this 12-time Olympic medalist. Lochte fabricated a story about how he was robbed at gunpoint by people impersonating police officers. In reality, Lochte was just trying to cover up his drunken shenanigans that night with comrades Jimmy Feigen, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz. Lochte and company were out drinking and decided to pull up at a gasoline station at 4 a.m where they caused $400 worth of damage and paid in cash on the spot. Lochte has publicly apologized for his behavior, but this has not prevented him from losing credibility and in turn losing endorsements from companies like Speedo.

Lets see what fellow Cavaliers think about Lochte’s wild night in Rio:

The world was already in disagreement about the Olympics taking place in Rio 2016 due to the country’s corrupt government and the threat of contracting the Zika virus. Lochte’s decision wasn’t the best but at the end of the day he is human and he did apologize for his actions. Lochte is a role model to many swimmers and athletes and this behavior from a Olympics medalists is unacceptable. Hopefully, he has learned his lesson and can get back on his feet.
