Even if that’s how it started, it still looks like he lied to the police. How fucking dumb does he have to be not to realize it’s time to admit that he lied to his mom instead of repeating the lie in a police station?

Oh shit. So (its possible) that this thing just spiralled out of control & its point of origin was Lochte (like me) just giving his mom some over the top lame excuse to get out of a longer conversation that you dont want to have with your mom.

Jeaheez Mom! Now my friends have to stay in Brazilian jail, thanks a lot. Also, I don’t even like the cherry fruit roll ups you got me, you’re the worst!

seems kind of simple. they stopped to piss at a gas station. drunk and rowdy bros kick down bathroom door for funnies. security guard(s) pissed and asks for money for damage. bros say nos. guard pulls gun and says gimme money gringos. hands over wallet. guard says fuck it and keeps whole wallet. fin.

Lochte told his mom, who told the press, and then (I think) the cops called them in to get their story.

Except this is 100% new information. When the judge asked them to surrender their passport it was explicitly on the basis of conflicting accounts and not looking upset enough on CCTV after the fact. If the judge had said “don’t leave the country because we have a complaint against your behavior” from a business owner…

Seriously. “These kids.” Lochte is 32 fucking years old. Yes, he’s an idiot, but he’s a grown-ass idiot.

Well, if he makes it out of Guanabara Bay without getting so sick he shits himself to death, he’s got a chance to make it...

Phelps is already home, so its possible to swim back home

If he makes it out of Brazil’s “waters” not as a toxic mess he should be fine.

I’ve been robbed sober and didn’t remember shit. Froze up. You don’t think clearly in situations like that. By the way Lochte told the story initially I thought he might have too. But anyhow, it’s a sad case. Everybody looks bad no matter the outcome. The police and Brazilian justice system already looks bad, and I…

This. If the only reasons that the Rio authorities have for seizing passports and pulling people off planes is that there were some inconsistencies in drunken eyewitness accounts, and that the group of said drunken individuals weren’t sufficiently traumatized by their ordeal, then, well....that would fit in very…

You’re correct but you pulled the case as a equilibrium instance. The current the swimmers are experiencing is not equilibrium, it is a minor advantage in one direction. The better example would be 0.1 mph current and swimming at 2 mph (obviously made up numbers because I have no idea what the speeds would be). This…

As bufuddling as this is I have to remember that Lochte, while not the brightest bulb while sober, was drunk with his pals that night. Not an optimal condition for remembering details, especially for our dog paddling human Labradoodle. Watching the video the guys aren’t laughing, but Lochte slaps one guy with his…

“If you’re swimming three kilometers, you’ll go back and forth enough that the boost given by the current will be cancelled out by having to take a return trip in the opposite direction.”

That may sound right, but it’s absolutely false!

Swimming back and forth in a lane with a current is actually slower than swimming…

You need to keep up with current events.

Yes, currently they are

Sounds like the Olympics are going swimmingly.

However, CSGO Lounge specifically brought a lot of new viewers to Counter-Strike, helping transform it into the eSports juggernaut it is today.
