US Olympic Committee suspends swimmer Ryan Lochte for 10 months following 'fake robbery' scandal
Lochte, 32, was dropped
by four major company sponsors after he admitted he "overexaggerated"
his story about being robbed and held at gunpoint in Brazil...
The Olympic gold
medallist claimed he and three teammates - Jimmy Feigen, Gunnar Bentz and Jack
Conger - were robbed after stopping at a petrol station after a party but the
Brazilian police denied the story and said he was lying only for him to come
back later and say he 'over exaggerated' his claims.
According to USA Today,
the three other swimmers have been suspended, although for shorter lengths of
time, and Lochte would be banned from a championship swim meet in Budapest in
2017.
