RIO
DE JANEIRO — Soon after the first news media reports surfaced Sunday
morning of an armed assault on four American swimmers, the athletes were
interviewed at the United States Olympic team’s hospitality house by
State Department officials, national swim team officials and Olympic
officials. They all agreed that the swimmers should avoid further
attention and that the United States Olympic Committee would soon put
out a statement.
But
Ryan Lochte, a 12-time medal winner, left the hospitality house and
walked across the street to Ipanema Beach, where he gave a lurid interview to NBC, describing a gun-to-head holdup by men identifying themselves as police officers.
