Because all of the popular people are getting robbed in Rio, if you aren't getting robbed, you are a nobody.Why on earth would grown men randomly make up, out of thin air, a lie about being robbed?
Maybe they had hookers bolt with their wallets and such and we're trying to protect their image. Instead of saying "yeah, the hooker ran out with my wallet" you say "I was robbed by some dude". It's Rio, who's going to question it? Problem is Lochte wanted to sound all Clint Eastwood circa 1970, like he was a badazz with his blue green hair.
Mike and Mike is reporting there's a video of Lochte trying to break through a bathroom door somewhere. Don't know if it was at the bar or what.
If youve ever heard lochte speak, this isnt terribly surprising. The man is borderline retarded.
I just cant understand why the others went along with it.
