Ryan Lochte and a group of U.S Olympic swimmers are in hot water now…
Lochte and his crew had previously claimed a dramatic tale of being held up in an armed robbery, but that story is now being cast in a far different light after some revealing footage dropped.
See for yourself, and then we’ll give you the play by play:
The 4 swimmers in question were on their way home from a party early Sunday morning when they stopped to heed nature’s call at a local gas station. One or more of the guys was peeing outside the bathroom, and also kicked in the bathroom door, causing needless vandalism.
The swimmers were all reportedly wasted out of their ever lovin’ minds.
Things got dicey when the gas station’s armed security intervened, pulling his gun, he stopped the Olympian vandals and demanded satisfaction for their damages.
They weren’t going to high tail it out of there without compensating the store for their reckless antics.
Rio police say the gas station manager tells a slightly different story — claiming the guard never pulled the gun and the manager merely asked them to pay, which they did.
There’s no gun visible in the footage, so this fact remains shrouded in some mystery.
Fact of the matter is that it’s very possible that Lochte and crew didn’t lie about a gun or losing money…However, they DID make up a ridiculous story about how that came to pass, a lie that included claims of being pulled over with fake badges — and they totally glossed over the part about them starting the trouble with their rowdy early morning vandalism.
On Wednesday night, Lochte repeated most of those lies to NBC reporter Matt Lauer…rather convincingly we might add.

The group could face prosecution for lying to Rio cops. They have a news conference scheduled for later on Thursday…perhaps to give their Johnny Depp and Amber Heard style mea culpa to a foreign government…
