"I was like the most loved person to the most hated person, like that."
That's how United States swimmer Ryan Lochte described his fall from grace following his 2016 Olympic scandal to Alex Rodriguez in CNBC's Back In The Game (around the 4:15 mark):
Lochte won a gold medal in Rio de Janeiro, but his legacy will forever be tarnished by his out-of-the-pool drama.
During his time in Rio, Lochte made headlines by saying he and his teammates were robbed at gunpoint. However, he later admitted that he "over-exaggerated" the story, as surveillance footage showed the swimmers vandalizing a gas station.
