You probably won’t be shocked to learn that Team USA swimmer and six-time Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte was robbed at gunpoint on Saturday. That’s not to say that he specifically had it coming by any means, it’s just that I think we are all a little surprised that this didn’t happen to someone sooner.
NBC News confirmed the story, first told to multiple sources my Lochte’s mother Ileana Lochte, that her son was with fellow U.S. Olympic swimmers Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen when they were forced from their taxi cab and robbed at gunpoint in Rio overnight on Saturday.
