Phelps to Lochte before scrape: 'Keep your head on straight'

CHASKA, Minn. (AP) — Add Michael Phelps' name to the list of Americans who were less than amused by teammate Ryan Lochte's post-competition, early morning drunken antics at the Rio Olympics.

"I did have a talk with him about two days before about not doing anything bad," said Phelps, who retired after the Summer Games as the most-decorated Olympian of all time. "I told him: 'Just keep your head on straight. Have fun.'"

Apparently, the warning didn't take.

Lochte and three teammates got into a scrape with a security guard at a gas station in Rio de Janeiro after a night of partying.
