Ryan Lochte will wear Tyr swimsuits, signing with the company after being dropped by longtime sponsor Speedo following his Rio Olympic gas-station incident.

The 12-time Olympic medalist wore the Tyr logo on a swim cap in a Debt.com ad published Monday. Tyr published a video Thursday.

Lochte has signed with a number of companies (most not big names) since he lost sponsors following what happened in Rio.

Lochte is suspended through June 30 and excluded from July’s world championships by USA Swimming as punishment following his Rio gas-station incident.

Lochte has said he plans to return to competition after the ban with an eye on the 2020 Olympics.
