Ryan Lochte acknowledged he considered suicide after his Rio Olympic gas-station incident, according to ESPN.com.
“After Rio, I was probably the most hated person in the world,” Lochte mumbled, according to the report, repeating what he said last fall. “There were a couple of points where I was crying, thinking, ‘If I go to bed and never wake up, fine.'”
Lochte was asked if that meant he considered suicide, nodded slowly and said, “I was about to hang up my entire life,” according to ESPN.
Lochte previously discussed his depression after his Rio infamy, which led to a 10-month suspension from USA Swimming.
