Ryan Lochte Suspended For 10 Months For Lying And Unruly Behaviour At The Rio Olympics

By Mojisola Delano On Sep 8, 2016

Ryan Lochte just got his punishment for his Rio gas station hijinks. The US Olympics Comittee has suspended him for 10 months with additional sanctions.

The punishment was handed down not just by the USOC but by the International Olympic Committee and USA Swimming as well.

The punishment is harsher than Michael Phelps’ 6 month suspension for his 2 DUIs. The punishment was debated within the USOC, because Phelps put people’s lives at risk and Lochte arguably didn’t lie about a material fact. We’re told some of the USOC decision makers felt Lochte’s punishment was too severe.
The other 3 swimmers involved in the Rio incident were also suspended, but for less time. At least one of them got a 4 month suspension.
