BREAKING NEWS – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – Two American swimmers Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz, were pulled off their flight to the United States by the Brazilian authorities and detained for several hours, Olympic officials said. It was the latest indication that the police were skeptical of the swimmers’ claims that they had been held up at gunpoint during the Rio Games. The third swimmer Ryan Lochte, initially stated that an assailant had put a gun against his forehead, changed it to the gun had been aimed in his “general direction”, had already made it back to the U.S. He previously said that the swimmers had been robbed after the men identifying themselves as police officers pulled over their taxi. However, he told NBC that the taxi had stopped at a gas station so they could use the bathroom. Lochte’s latest story is, he indeed went to the bathroom at a gas station, because he has an extremely rare form of diarrhea that causes him to hallucinate.
