>The United States Olympic Committee apologized Thursday night to its Olympic hosts and the people of Brazil for the “distracting ordeal” caused by four of its swimmers, who made up a lie about being robbed at gunpoint while in Rio.
>Scott Blackmun, the USOC’s chief executive officer, said in a statement late Thursday that the swimmers “committed an act of vandalism” in a gas station restroom. The lie about a robbery that involved a stopped taxicab and assailants posing as police officers – told publicly by swimmer Ryan Lochte to an NBC reporter on Sunday – began what eventually blossomed into an international incident.
>“On behalf of the United States Olympic Committee, we apologize to our hosts in Rio and the people of Brazil for this distracting ordeal in the midst of what should rightly be a celebration of excellence,” Blackmun said. kentucky.com/sports/olympics/article96588327.html
This is the first time I see the US apologizing to another country. I didn't know Brazil was this powerful.

And all because his pathetic mom was living vicariously through him and had to scream to the media the lie he told her to cover up what he actually did We can at least take solace that that bloodline is ending since he's been rendered sterile by Brazil's water

ryan lochte is 32 years old and lied to his mom about getting too drunk and pissing in a gas station. if he had been fucking ladyboys it would've been excusable to spare his mother from that but come the fuck on he let her make a fool out of their entire family cause he couldn't own up to having a few too many and getting out of line.

We apologize to irrelevant countries all of the time when they go on little power trip tantrums. I'm pretty sure our embassy reps tell the people to just do it and get out.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. How stupid are you? Do you think they just released their passports and let them leave after grabbing them off of an airplane out of their overwhelming benevolence? Was it just a magical coincidence that this immediately followed them "confessing" and "apologizing"?
