Based on their behavior, I’m thinking the coke deal went right.

Thank you! Always gratifying to know when I’ve gotten under an idiot’s skin.

With significantly more (and different) info, my opinion has changed. That’s how logic and reasoning work.

I said nothing even close to approaching what you claimed and someone would have to be an idiot to actually think that’s what I meant. What kind of response did you expect? A serious discussion of why I don’t actually need to personally witness a crime to believe it happened? GTFO of here.

Sure, that’s a valid interpretation if you’re a fucking idiot who doesn’t know what words actually mean.

Asking for more detail = “carrying his water.” Ok, whatever. You seem to have an uneasy relationship with words and their meanings, so I’ll let that slide.

Came here to write this. Officially nothing about this makes sense anymore.

This. His original interview, some of the statements were so vague and he was clearly still hungover that I can’t believe anyone saw it and was like, “Yup, this is a clear-as-a-bell, step-by-step retelling of an incident, and any future variation in details is proof of lying.” He appeared to have a foggy at best…

But weren’t there earlier reports that they were not found on any of the station’s cameras?

True. Which is why the IOC said it didn’t happen even before they had talked to anyone. If they had no info on it, you’d think they’d say “We haven’t been informed of anything like that,” not “Nope. No incident. Nothing happened.”

Yeah, part of my issue with this story is that the “known facts” are pretty fuzzy. I’ve seen conflicting reports on some things even from the major media outlets, so it’s kind of hard to figure out what the hell is going on because it seems like no one can even agree on the basic allegations and timeline, let alone…

That was sort of my point...

Even non-traumatic events. I guarantee you if you sat me and Mr. Minkoff down in separate rooms and asked us to detail what we did last Saturday, there would be at least a dozen “discrepancies” in our stories (did we have our usual waiter or the new guy, who ordered what, what time did we leave the house and get back,…

It is his mom who reported it in the media

Um, gramercy has already declared the swimmers to be “dirt bags” based on, um, the fact that he doesn’t like them, so there is really nothing else to discuss. Obviously they are lying.

Obviously they would need to be in the fetal position and crying for their mommies. Just like you can tell a woman hasn’t been raped if she manages to ever go on a date ever again. It’s science!

Sorry dude, didn’t realize Lochte was the guy who stole your lunch money.

You have perfectly encapsulated my feelings on this. Subjecting her to this seems horrible and unfair. Making other women compete against a woman who is physically (it seems) more similar to men also seems unfair.

A good point.

Yeah, I just know too little of Rio’s police practices to know how common plainclothes cops are.
