This almost... sort of... kind of... makes it seem like they were actually robbed at gunpoint. Lochte just told his side of the story through a douchebro filter.

Yeah I was just adding that to clarify that the cell phone thing isn’t one of the inconsistencies. Should have replied to the other post.

all of the stars

NOT Freaky Fast.

damnit that’s good

He’s been associated with some shady doctors in the past, which as we all know by now is pretty much a guarantee.

The Jofa helmet gave him all the performance boost he needed.
