So the swimmers getting robbed thing has gotten political

Post by ElbertoHokie »

What the heck happened down there?

Their passports have been ordered seized by the Brazil gubment so they can continue to investigate.

I just don't see the angle here. If the swimmers were robbed, why not just try and make this go away if you're the Brazil gov't?

If the swimmers lied, why the hell lie about that?

It doesn't even sound like Lochte is still in the country and if that's true, I doubt he ever goes back.

The swimmers involved have already left the country so it is a useless gesture. My guess is rio has such a black eye from the games they are being defensive anyway they know how.

Something doesn't seem right with Lochte, and something does not seem right about this story. Just my opinion.
With their Cap’n and Chief Intelligence Officer having deserted them, River, Ham and Joe valiantly continue their whataboutismistic last stand of the DJT apology tour.

Video has been obtained showing the swimmers after the robbery. They look relaxed and had a bunch of high dollar items with them. That is according to the authorities.

The Brazilian authorities are saying the swimmers stories don't match up and video of them returning to the Olympic village show them laughing and carrying on with no signs of emotional distress from just being robbed.

Rumble is that Lochte was with a lady of ill repute and didn't want his girlfriend (who was waiting for him) to know.

Maybe they were robbed, not by cabbies, but by the 'ladies'. Happens in Vegas and is hardly ever reported.

Are you shaming and blaming the victim? All survivors have a right to be believed.

False reporting of a robbery can be jail time.

What probably happened is some hooker took his wallet, and he needed an out to keep his gf from being pissed.

Public service warning.....My brother has worked in Vegas for over 20 years in the casinos. He says that prostitution in Vegas is not a victimless crime, and that the John is often drugged and has his belongings, including rental car, stolen. There is a whole ring of ladies who drive the cars to chop shops. Dang. Where is Dan Tanna when you need him?
