“I want to offer a sincere apology to the United States Olympic Committee, USA Swimming, the extraordinary women and men of Team USA, and the University of Georgia. Being a member of the Olympic Swimming Team was an honor and a dream come true. The accomplishments of my teammates were awe-inspiring and I’m so pleased I got to see them up close. I regret this situation has drawn attention away from the Olympics, which have been hosted so incredibly well by Brazil and its citizens.

“While I am anxious to put this matter behind me and rejoin my Georgia teammates in classes, practices and competitions, I feel compelled to stress several key points.

1. I was never a suspect in the case from the beginning (Brazilian law enforcement officials saw me only as a witness).
2. I never made a false statement to anyone at any time.”I also want to be forthright about the details of what transpired last Sunday.

What follows is consistent with the account I gave to the Brazilian authorities when I was interviewed for the first and only time on Thursday in Rio de Janeiro:

“After attending an event with several swimmers from different nations, I left in a taxicab along with U.S. swimmers Jack Conger, Jimmy Feigen and Ryan Lochte around 6 a.m. On the way back to the Olympic Village, we pulled into a convenience store to use the restroom. There was no restroom inside, so we foolishly relieved ourselves on the backside of the building behind some bushes. There was a locked door out back and I did not witness anyone breaking it open. I am unsure why, but while we were in that area, Ryan pulled to the ground a framed metal advertisement that was loosely anchored to the brick wall. I then suggested to everyone that we needed to leave the area and we returned to the taxi.

“Two men, whom I believe to have been security guards, then instructed us to exit the vehicle. No guns were drawn during this exchange, but we did see a gun tucked into one of the guard’s waistband. As Jimmy and Jack were walking away from the vehicle, the first security guard held up a badge to me and drew his handgun. I yelled to them to come back toward us and they complied. Then the second guard drew his weapon and both guards pointed their guns at us and yelled at us to sit on a nearby sidewalk.

“Again, I cannot speak to his actions, but Ryan stood up and began to yell at the guards. After Jack and I both tugged at him in an attempt to get him to sit back down, Ryan and the security guards had a heated verbal exchange, but no physical contact was made.

“A man that I believe to be a customer approached us and offered to help as he spoke both English and Portuguese. Understandably, we were frightened and confused during this time. Through the interpreter, one of the guards said that we needed to pay them in order to leave. I gave them what I had in my wallet, which was a $20 bill, and Jimmy gave them 100 Reals, which is about $50 in total. They lowered the guns and I used hand gestures to ask if it was okay to leave and they said yes. We walked about a block down the street and hailed another taxi to return to the Village.

“Videos of this situation have been emerging the last several days. However, I am confident that some video angles have not been shown that would further substantiate my account. I also believe some scenes have been skipped over. Additionally, I would like to stress that our original taxi was not pulled over; the only occupants of the taxi were the four of us and the driver; and to my knowledge, there was no damage done to the door or the inside of the restroom.

“I am so thankful for the love and support of my family, my friends and my teammates during this time. Without question, I am taking away a valuable life lesson from this situation. In everything I do, I am representing my family, my country and my school. I will not take that responsibility lightly.”

I don't know, dude. If a bunch of foreigners vandalized a building in the U.S., I don't think we'd be having the "boys will be boys" reaction that many have been having. They committed a crime, security guards demanded that they pay it, Lochte douched it up, and then lied despite having a translator smooth out the situation.

Mongolian wrestling coaches strip off clothing in protest of call


RIO DE JANEIRO -- In a display that would have made Vince McMahon proud, a pair of Mongolian wrestling coaches stripped off their clothing in a protest of a call by officials that gave the bronze medal to Uzbekistan's Ikhtiyor Navruzov on Sunday afternoon.

"This was a protest. There was a problem with the refereeing," said Byambarenchin Bayarra, one of the Mongolian coaches. "The Mongolian wrestler won 7-6 and he lost because of this [judges' decision]. This is the only time in history of wrestling with point penalty."

With about seven seconds left in the match, Mongolia's Mandakhnaran Ganzorig began running around the mat, waving his arms in front of Navruzov in celebration of his impending victory. When the final buzzer sounded, Ganzorig fell to the mat in celebration. His coaches covered him in the Mongolian flag.

But officials penalized Ganzorig for his late-match antics, calling him for fleeing the hold by not engaging in the match's final seconds. That made it 7-7. The Mongolians protested the call and lost, giving another point to Navruzov to make it an 8-7 final.

As Ganzorig rolled around the mat in frustration, one of his coaches stomped to the judges' table and slammed his hands on the mat. Then he ripped his shirt off, flexed his muscles and roared, much to the delight of the crowd. From there, a second Mongolian coach came over, pulled his shirt off and then went one step further and dropped his pants. He picked up his pile of clothes and dumped them on the judges' table.

At the same time, the Uzbekistan coaches brought out their own flag and draped it around Navruzov as Ganzorig sobbed.

Both Mongolian coaches refused to leave the mat until they were escorted by the Brazilian National Public Security Force.

"The referees were not good," Bayarra said. "They only supported the Uzbek. After the challenge for five seconds we win, and we are very happy for this medal.

"Three million people in Mongolian waited for this bronze medal and now we have no medal."

Now that the Olympics has come to a close I just wanted to talk about a few things.

First, Galen Rupp won a bronze in the marathon in his second ever marathon race. That is impressive as hell.

Secondly, I may be wrong here, but the USA won 121 medals, and 46 golds. I believe those numbers the most in the modern Olympics outside of boycott years by the USSR.

Thirdly, I feel that we are not appreciating the mastery that Phelps has shown over his Olympic career enough. The man will go down as the greatest Olympian of all time. We will tell stories to our children and grandchildren that we were alive to witness his dominance of his sport over the last 16 years. I swam for 2 years in high school before I quit to focus on football, but I see what Phelps has done, and it is seriously otherworldly. The man could have been the best in the world at 2 strokes, and possibly 3 if he had specialized in them. That is just ridiculous.

Fourth, Simone Biles might be the best female gymnast of all time. I actually feel sorry for Aly Raisman, because she would probably be considered the best American female gymnast of all time if Simone Biles hadn't come along to steal her spotlight and steal some of the medals she would have won if she had competed in years that didn't involve Biles.

Lastly, Bolt is so frustrating to me. I wish we could have seen a race where he didn't take his foot off the gas in the 100m in his Olympic career. I believe it was in 2008 that he ran a 9.63 and scientists estimated that he would have ran in the 9.4s if he had ran hard all the way. He has been so dominant in sprinting but I feel like we never got a chance to see what he could do if he had ran 100% all the way.

Random responses:

I don't know much about gymnastic, but it was really easy to tell that Simone Biles was the best gymnast in the field. I watched her on the vault and she was miles beyond the other gymnasts.

And I saw Bolt in the 4x100. It was almost laughable how fast he pulled away from the field on his heat. He's truly unique.

Every great athlete needs someone to push them to bring out their greatness. Bolt needed a Carl Lewis or Michael Johnson to run against to push himself to a level he never really needed in this era.

Without question it could have been 9.5-9.4 And to agree with above-Bolt made a comment after a race that he didn't have anyone to push him. Sad.

They said that it happened because somebody dumped the wrong chemical into the pool, peroxide I think? That cancels out the chlorine in the pool. The water polo pool next to it was fine the whole time. Weird because I never knew that the water polo was held outside until after it was over.

He made numerous comments saying how badly he wanted to get under 13 seconds in the 200m, or at least break the 13.13 WR. I think based on all of that he was trying his hardest in the 200, and you can see his reaction immediately after he crosses the line how upset he was. I took his comments as meaning that someone pushing him would have gotten him to either work harder in the offseason, or more likely give him the adrenaline during the race to go that little faster.

First, Galen Rupp won a bronze in the marathon in his second ever marathon race. That is impressive as hell. Do they still run that thing nekkid? If so is his dong in a sling right about now?

Secondly, I may be wrong here, but the USA won 121 medals, and 46 golds. I believe those numbers the most in the modern Olympics outside of boycott years by the USSR. China is so pissed. They just can't compete at big people's events.

Thirdly, I feel that we are not appreciating the mastery that Phelps has shown over his Olympic career enough. The man will go down as the greatest Olympian of all time. We will tell stories to our children and grandchildren that we were alive to witness his dominance of his sport over the last 16 years. I swam for 2 years in high school before I quit to focus on football, but I see what Phelps has done, and it is seriously otherworldly. The man could have been the best in the world at 2 strokes, and possibly 3 if he had specialized in them. That is just ridiculous.
Probably not. But I may show them pics of Aly Raisman in the Body issue.

Fourth, Simone Biles might be the best female gymnast of all time. I actually feel sorry for Aly Raisman, because she would probably be considered the best American female gymnast of all time if Simone Biles hadn't come along to steal her spotlight and steal some of the medals she would have won if she had competed in years that didn't involve Biles.
No. But she may have the worst sounding name ever. Her uncle grandpa should have changed it.

Lastly, Bolt is so frustrating to me. I wish we could have seen a race where he didn't take his foot off the gas in the 100m in his Olympic career. I believe it was in 2008 that he ran a 9.63 and scientists estimated that he would have ran in the 9.4s if he had ran hard all the way. He has been so dominant in sprinting but I feel like we never got a chance to see what he could do if he had ran 100% all the way.
What do you want from him? Brotha' got a gland problem.
