The Rio de Janeiro gas station where Ryan Lochte and three other U.S. Olympic male swimmers were at the center of a now-infamous Aug. 14 incident has become a tourist attraction.
A company is offering an eight-hour tour of Rio Olympic-themed sites, from the arena where the Final Five gymnastics team captured gold, to favelas as experienced by Carmelo Anthony and, most notably, a pit stop at Auto Posto Jardim Oceanico da Barra, also known as the Shell station from that early morning incident.
The gas station has received an increase in customers in recent days, plus those coming solely to take selfies, according to Brazil’s Globo.
