Two U.S. Olympic swimmers were pulled off their flight home by Brazilian federal police Wednesday as new questions arose Wednesday about robbery claims made by swimming star Ryan Lochte. "I'm just happy he's safe," the elder Lochte told the AP. A USA Swimming spokesman said he couldn't comment on athlete whereabouts because of security concerns. "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."
