American swimmer Jack Conger released a statement Friday night providing his version of events concerning the highly publicized Lochtegate situation at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
PR Newswire passed along the comments from Conger, who called the entire ordeal an "unsettling, humbling and frightening experience."
The 21-year-old gold medalist stated he's been honest with authorities throughout the drama and explained what he remembered from the night in question:
Early Sunday morning I was with USA swimming teammates celebrating at the French House. Four of us took a taxi back to the Olympic Village, and on the way we pulled into a gas station to use the restroom, but ultimately relieved ourselves outside, for which I apologize.
