The Australian Olympic committee has banned two swimmers from the closing ceremonies.
"Josh Palmer “continued drinking” with a friend, according to a statement released by the AOC. When his friend left, Palmer was forced to withdraw $1,000 out of an ATM by man. Palmer was described as “disoriented” when he was found by two Copa businessmen."

But that's how much that race pushes your body.

Kind of sounds like the guy accidentally drank some of the sewage water at one of the other Olympic venues. Yikes.

Lochte had a big interview with Matt Lauer on NBC. The dying of his hair is a big deal for himself.
"Lochte, who dyed his hair white for the Games and had it turn a light shade of green from the pool, had changed his hair back to its regular colour for the interview. As Brazilian police investigated his robbery claim, and eventually held his teammates for questioning while they sorted out his story, he had tweeted he intended to dye it back."

broke the first rule

Not a disaster, but I dont know where this fits.
It's the Olympics...all the Track & Field nametags were paper attached with paper clips. I'm not sure what I was expecting they use, but it wasn't what I get for a 5k fun run.

so did the ioc grand pubah mention how it was the greatest Olympics ever in his closing speech?
also I don't recall any news about them catching an athlete who tested positive for something - I think this means the good guys are winning the battle - right??!!??
oh yeah, and after all those panoramic shots of rio, we are all thinking about booking a vacation there.....right????

Lochte loses his first sponsor, Speedo.

“While we have enjoyed a winning relationship with Ryan for over a decade and he has been an important member of the Speedo team, we cannot condone behavior that is counter to the values this brand has long stood for,” the company shared on Twitter. “We appreciate his many achievements and hope he moves forward and learns from this experience.” Speedo also noted that it was donating a $50,000 portion of Lochte’s fee to a charity designed to help children in Brazil.

Often trying to get to 3rd will result in a DNF on the clean and jerk. So it's a bit unfair.

Hahahah - Lochte - in an interview used the word "tantics" instead of "antics"
Sports Pickle tweeted - "tantics, antics by a brah with a sweet tan"
You can't write this stuff!

Ryan Lochte must be the long-lost brother of Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.
