Ryan Lochte and some of his Olympic swimmer buddies were robbed at gunpoint in Rio when fake cops pulled over their taxi, just another reason the next games should be held in Ann Arbor in an old guy’s cul-de-sac. In Lochte’s version of the events he comes off as either a total badass or a guy on steroids with a death wish:
“We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a police badge… They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground — they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didn’t do anything wrong, so I’m not getting down on the ground. And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, ‘Get down,’ and I put my hands up, I was like ‘whatever.’ He took our money, he took my wallet.”
You were like, whatever? Something about this doesn’t ring especially true because it seems you would have gotten yourself and all your friends killed. Try as they may, swimmers simply aren’t cool. Lochte’s poked around for a few reality shows. Him talking shit to Crips in South Central and getting his head blown off would make a decent sizzle. Do some more laps maybe you can sit with the ball players.
