3 American swimmers stuck in Brazil amid investigation into robbery report


Two American Olympic swimmers who were yanked off a homebound flight will not be allowed to leave Brazil until they provide testimony to investigators about a reported robbery that targeted them and a couple of their teammates, their attorney said Thursday. The latest developments come amid increasing tension between Brazilian authorities and the American swimmers over the ever-changing story of the alleged robbery. "They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground — they got down on the ground. Lochte told USA Today that he and his teammates didn't initially tell the U.S. Olympic officials about the robbery "because we were afraid we'd get in trouble." Steve Bentz, father of Gunnar Bentz, told the AP Wednesday night, "I really don't want to say anything.”The Associated Press contributed to this report.
