    When you see the countries that have won a medal (again around 80), and Mexico has yet to win anything, it's freakin crazy:eek:

    I agree with you that it's to the point that it's not even funny anymore. It's pathetic.

    This is so true, but this is what arrogant entitled people do. Just look at Bill Clinton. If he had just said I got a little frisky with an intern and I'm sorry, then everything would have been much easier for him.

    They won the gold in the River Crossing event, but it's just a demonstration sport.

    The other video was referenced early today in the news:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ioning-robbery-case-no-evidence-crime-US.html

    You realize this message board is not the only source of news right? I said that there was video showing that he was lying. There is. The fact that you didn't realize there were multiple videos is not really relevant to anything.



    The video on this board directly contradicts his initial statements about the taxi. The fact that he already changed his story doesn't make him any less of a liar. :confused: It just confirms it.

    http://www.sbnation.com/2016/8/18/12528300/ryan-lochte-robbed-rio-brazil-swimming-details

    In an interview with Billy Bush on TODAY Lochte told his side of the story.

    "We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over," Lochte said. "They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground — they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didn't do anything wrong, so — I'm not getting down on the ground.


    That is a flat out lie. They were not pulled over in their taxi. As demonstrated in the video, they were already stopped at a gas station when the confrontation occurred.

    I was referring to the first video, but take your pick - both show them as liars.

    You should really follow the story better.

    Let's trace the backtrack by Major. This is brilliant stuff.

    MUST NOT BE WRONG. MUST QUOTE OLD INTERVIEW.


    The video at the gas station shows it exactly how he told matt lauer. The video at security shows he had a phone. I find it really really weird that we aren't talking about how all of their cash was taken at gunpoint though by people who were not cops but had guns. So I guess we all agree that probably happened.

    Gabby Douglas got a lot of heat for not putting her hand over her heart during the anthem. I wonder if these three girls who won the 100m hurdles will get the same backlash.

    Watched the Helen Maroulis wrestling match. That was pretty cool, she was pretty emotional after she won.

    love the way media outlets are trying to sweep it under the rug as simply a group of frat boys being a little rowdy and having fun. while not mentioning that oh btw lochte is 32 :grin:
