Going for Gold

Story not yet over for Ryan Lochte and friends


Listen Later

USA TODAY Sports Olympics reporter Nicole Auerbach is joined on the telephone by USAT sports editor David Meeks to dive into the ever-changing story of U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte and his three Olympic teammates and their encounter with Brazilian security guards at a gas station in Rio de Janeiro.
David offers the latest findings in the investigation, which tilt the story toward the possibility that Brazilian police, like Lochte, might have embellished their story.
The pair also discuss how Lochte was dropped from sponsors, how the media, in general, covered this story all wrong, and how the Rio Games should not be remembered mostly for this non-Games-related altercation.
The story by Meeks and Taylor Barnes can be read at: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/rio-2016/2016/08/21/investigation-ryan-lochte-rio-olympics-authorities/89082232.
