Photo: GettyRIO DE JANEIRO—Images from a Rio gas station taken the morning four U.S. swimmers were allegedly robbed at gunpoint appeared to undermine their story, as police said their original testimony was false. But authorities regarded the swimmers’ claims with suspicion after they say Messrs. Lochte and Feigen gave conflicting accounts of the incident. Mr. Lochte had already returned to the U.S. by the time the order was issued, while Mr. Feigen’s whereabouts remain unknown. Mr. Lochte said the swimmers were then ordered at gunpoint to “get down on the ground,” and Mr. Lochte said his money and wallet were taken. The gas station called the police after the swimmers allegedly damaged the bathroom, a source confirmed, adding that the swimmers paid for the damage and left before police arrived.
