2. Speedo was the first to end its sponsorship, followed by Ralph Lauren, a mattress company called Airweave, and Syneron-Candela, the parent company of Gentle Hair Removal.

In a statement to BuzzFeed News on Monday, Speedo said that while it had “enjoyed a winning relationship with Ryan for over a decade,” it cannot “condone behavior” counter to company’s values.

The swimwear company added that it will be donating part of Lochte’s fee to Save The Children’s Brazil chapter.

Ralph Lauren also told BuzzFeed News that it would not be renewing the Olympian’s contract.
