U.S. swimmer Jimmy Feigen apologized for his role in the now-infamous gas station incident during the Rio Games.
"First and foremost I would like to apologize for the serious distractions from the Olympics, Rio de Janeiro, and Team USA," Feigen said Tuesday in an apology via his attorneys. "It was never my intent to draw attention away from the tradition of athletic competition and the symbolic cooperation of countries participating in the Olympic games.
"... I am so sorry for the drama this has caused in everyone's lives. I am very thankful to be home in the United States with my family and that this ordeal has come to an end.
