I already talked about it here but the investigation is over and the police came to the conclusion that the swimmers were lying. Ryan Lochte, James Feigen, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz from the american swim team lied about being robbed in RIO.
Ryan Lochte, in all his “im american, kiss my ass” glory declared on TV that he and his team were robbed at gunpoint after a party, when really, it’s just been proven by footage that they were actually vandalizing the bathroom of a gas station and were stopped by security.
All the swimmers - not counting Ryan, who’s already in the USA - were stopped from leaving Brazil; Jack and Gunnar already confessed that Ryan created the story, but stated that they were’nt complicit in it. The police plans on an indictment of false report of a crime.
I have no idea why they’d lie, but there’s already speculation regarding two girls who hooked up with the players, and they will be heard soon. It seems everything was created to cover up the hook-ups from one of the swimmer’s wives.
So, not only they created a story that worsens Brazil’s image, they caused property damage and made themselves out to be the victims on international news. Some people are still saying “he’s just a kid” about Lochte, who’s 32 years old.
If that doesn’t speak volumes about white/male/american privilege, I don’t know what does.
E é aquele ditado né: jesus perdoa mas brasileiro não
