So it looks like Lochte made up the entire story about being robbed. I bet all the computer Nerd's who were celebrating when original story broke now feel embarrassed. Looks like the entire games are going off without a hitch. My advice to everyone gleefully hoping for a major incident would be to leave your Mom's basements and go play competitive sport

Heartcatch posted:I was watching this and the Iranian weightlifter was robbed. He absolutely needed that lift to be number one and if he failed it he would drop out of contention. The crowd was understandably upset. Eh, the weightlifting judging in Rio was very inconsistent, but he wasn't robbed in that both lifts would've probably ended up being red lighted/ruled bad at most international lifting meets. It definitely sucks for him after the snatch WR, but its largely his fault for choosing a bad weight strategy. Weightlifting judging is noisy but not nearly as subjective as boxing judging. Olympic boxing is and always has been a mess.

Every story about this Olympics gets worse and worse. Even the IOC can't ignore the need for basic standards before the bottom line is going to get hurt wholesale bribery or not.

UK TV presenter Charlie Webster in coma and on life support in Rio: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37115095 Ms Webster, from Sheffield, had appeared to be in good health when she arrived in Brazil on 4 August. She was admitted to hospital the day after the Olympics opening ceremony after her condition deteriorated.

Brazil is handling the Lochte thing with giant 3rd world fists of ham. The longer they keep those dudes detained and badger the poo poo out of them, the more articles like this will start showing up: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...eigen/88903580/ quote:It’s clear something happened early Sunday morning, and no one would be surprised if it turns out to be something embarrassing or likely to get the swimmers in trouble with the USOC, USA Swimming or their sponsors. But Lochte’s major crime might have been more of a public relations offense — he mentioned that the robbers were men posing as cops, complete with one of them flashing a badge. Good job Brazil! Keep highlighting how you've hosted the shittiest Olympic Games in history! Surely arresting athletes for reporting robbery by corrupt cops will help you save face!

The thing is, I'm not sure why Lochte needs to lie. There's no point in going out of the Olympic village for wild sex. All be would need would be to hang his medals from his personals and say, "Hey, I'm Ryan Lochte," and he could have as many gymnasts flipping around his dick as he wanted. Or shotputters of that's how he likes it. He's a stupid motherfucker, which complicates things, but there were three other dudes there, surely one of them would be bright enough to reel them in and think of the right thing to say. Which would likely be the truth.

Heartcatch posted:That's fair, I'm assuming that you know quite a bit more about weightlifting than myself. The guy could have not done the WR record and come into the C&J without an immediate lead but he decided not to, and then he watched a lot of people fail their lifts, chose to start at a high weight while he still looked tired, and then he failed his lifts. Either he hosed himself, or his coaches hosed him. The judges had very little to do with it. The fact that the jury would make decisions and over-rule the judges and then the lifters and their coaches would apparently find this out after everyone else in the arena and while the clock was still ticking, that's just Rio.

"Here is the deal guys. loving British athlete getting robbed at gunpoint, that's real crime. Russian diplomat who may not be a diplomat killing a supposedly robber, no way we can figure it out. Not this loving Lochte case it's easy potato." "Now all we need to do is pull these loving americans off the planes. We will put them in a room, make them 'drink some coffee', 'read some bible', and they will confess the whole thing is a lie. And our stats will go up. Wait they didn't file a police report? No worries we will fill it for them"
