Everything We Do and Don’t Know About Ryan Lochte’s Bizarre Brazilian Misadventure

"Why would Lochte make up a story about a robbery?

We are now in the realm of pure speculation. Maybe Lochte wanted to cancel a scheduled appointment with his mom and girlfriend after a late night on the town that was made later by the fracas at the gas station? Maybe the 32-year-old Lochte needed to ask his mom for money after giving it all away at the gas station? Maybe Lochte is just dumb? Once, he responded to an interviewer who asked him “what is four times seven?” by saying “21.” That seemed like it might be a funny joke at the time, but now I’m not so sure.

In his press conference, Veloso said the police began to get suspicious when they spoke with “a cab driver” (presumably the swimmers’ cab driver) who said there were “two girls in the taxi.” Veloso then speculated “we believe one of the athletes has a relationship with someone else and wants—possibly his girlfriend—not to know what happened that night so he had potentially a reason to deny what happened.”

Wait, what?!

That's what the man said.
