It was a day of departures and public statements for U.S. swimmers embroiled in the saga of a reported robbery/gas-station confrontation that became such an international fuss amid all the actual sports happening:
- Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger arrived back in the United States on Friday morning.
- Ryan Lochte issued an apology via social media, but the swimmer's attorney said that should not be viewed as a full mea culpa. Both Lochte and his lawyer maintained that money was demanded at gunpoint.
- Jimmy Feigen, the last of the four swimmers in Brazil, had to pay nearly $11,000 to leave Brazil.
