Police in Rio don’t seem to believe Ryan Lochte’s robbery story. The Associated Press reported Tuesday night that Rio police have found little evidence to support Lochte’s robbery claim. The AP source’s says security-camera footage obtained from the Olympic Village shows the swimmers returning at 6:56 a.m. on Sunday morning. Under IOC rules, athletes are allowed to consume alcohol in private spaces of the Olympic Village. Fake-police robberies like the one Lochte described to NBC are common in Rio though not, the AP reports, in the area where Lochte’s group allegedly was robbed.
