Brazilian authorities removed two U.S. swimmers, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz, from their flight home on Aug. 17 and prevented them from leaving the country. A Brazilian police official said law enforcement authorities in Rio de Janeiro do not believe the American swimmers were robbed. “Ryan left the country after his events, after fully meeting with the Brazilian authorities, the State Department, the FBI — everybody who wanted to meet with him,” Ostrow said. We refer you to Brazilian authorities for more information about this case.”News of the robbery broke Sunday, and confusion soon followed. Lochte told NBC that he and three other swimmers, including Feigen, were robbed when their taxi was stopped.
