Ryan Lochte Charged in Brazil Over False Robbery Report

Brazilian authorities on Thursday charged Ryan Lochte with filing a false robbery report after the U.S. swimmer admitted he “over-exaggerated” his story about being robbed at gunpoint during the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Lochte, who flew home before authorities could question him about the incident, would be informed in the U.S. so he could decide whether to introduce a defense in Brazil, according to the Associated Press.
