Now that we have determined Ryan Lochte lied about being robbed at gunpoint over the weekend, investigators are still sorting through details of what actually happened. One report claims Lochte and his U.S. swimming teammates are responsible for shenanigans that include peeing where they shouldn’t have.
Security footage that has been released by Globo TV does not show a robbery, but it does appear to show the four swimmers being confronted by employees after they left a gas station restroom. Here’s the video:
A report from Reuters claims the swimmers broke the door to the bathroom and urinated outside around the back of the gas station.
As you can see in the footage, the swimmers were sat down and told not to leave by gas station security. One of the swimmers — believed to be Lochte — stood up at one point and you could clearly see two of his teammates trying to calm him down.
Whatever happened at the gas station, it’s clear we have come a long, long way from the story Lochte told originally about having a gun pointed at his head. Perhaps this can explain why the story got so out of control.
