Mr. Lochte’s StoryMr. Lochte said the four American swimmers were robbed by men claiming to be police officers after leaving the party. He told NBC that their taxi was “side-swiped,” a man pulled out a gun, cocked it, put it to his forehead and then made off with his wallet and cash, but left his cellphone. However, he later said the taxi had stopped at a gas station so they could use the bathroom, and that they had been robbed upon returning to the taxi.
