Well, swimmer Ryan Lochte can kiss any endorsement deals goodbye after his performance in Brazil. His robbery story would have been more believable if he had told the Rio de Janeiro police that he was on his way to church when he and his buddies got mugged. Instead he made up a cockamamie story to cover up the vandalism they caused when they trashed a gas station bathroom. Prior to the Olympics, people were worried about the staggering street crime statistics in Rio. As it turns out, most of the staggering was done by the four American swimmers.
