The Latest on the Ryan Lochte Case

RIO DE JANEIRO — The American swimmers Ryan Lochte, Jimmy Feigen, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz left a lavish Olympics party hosted by the French authorities early Sunday morning. They got into a taxi for the ride across Rio de Janeiro to their lodgings in the athletes’ village. What happened next has been the subject of intense police scrutiny, diplomatic debate and widespread criticism — first for Rio’s crime problems, and then for the behavior of the four American athletes.

What’s the latest?

Mr. Conger and Mr. Bentz were allowed to fly back to the United States on Thursday night.
