Which Tyler Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Wonder if the Brownlees intend to mimic the German marathon twins, and cross the line hand in hand, and requiring a photo finish? Will they hell! They're both out for gold, and supportive of their brother only in being first loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the attempted cover-up and subsequent nonsense. They actually got into an altercation with a gas station security guard. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt but I'm sorry I did.

Usually you'd say that, being younger, his time will come - probably in 4 more years. But... I don't think Jonny has the same mental strength, Alistair will just push his body further.

Guess who's back Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Such a scumbag move from Lochte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunting Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Well the article says they have video surveillance showing them destroying a bathroom and a security guard pulling a gun. Sounds like they embellished the story and it got out of control. I told my wife as soon as I heard it that it was fake. Lochte is an attention seeker and I wouldn't trust anything he says.

kairparavel Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 There's got to be more to it, no? Drugs and/or prostitutes? All this lying and embellishing over a gas station encounter still seems odd. But Lochte comes off as an attention -seeking douchebro, so maybe it all makes sense to him.

DireWolfSpirit Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I knew as soon as I heard that dude giving the interview at the beach it sounded waaay dubious and I definately had my doubts about the veracity based on just the way the guy sounded and body language. Maybe I shouldve went into Detective for my career....? This months long motif of fu@#rs dogging on Rio (over stories like this) is just getting frickn old. I hope those swimmers arent getting any endorsement deals after this behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperry Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 It sounds like they were shaken down by the security guard and/or private citizen with a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 There's something really fishy about the whole Lochte thing. Why would you report being robbed at gunpoint if you yourself had just been the perpetrator of some other crime? The last thing you'd want would be the attention of the cops.
