Another Ryan Lochte update... - Page 4

I think Dancing with the "Stars" is a joke. I never paid any attention to his previous product endorsements and don't expect to pay attention to any future endorsements.

@Puzzle Piece

Punished by whom? Fined how much, and by whom?

As mentioned previously, there's a lot of NFL players who've abused women or children and not much is said about it, as long as their teams win. Do you really think what Ryan did is "unforgiveable" .... and you think ... what? .... his life and career should be over for lying? Really?

He LIED on national tv-more than once!
He LIED to the police
He DISRESPECTED a host country
He DISRESPECTED the host country peoples
He EMBARRASSED his own country
He EMBARRASSED his team mates
He EMBARRASSED the Olympic committee

His Olympic medals should be taken away from him for his "so called mistakes."

Yes, I've made "mistakes" but NONE of his magnitude. Not even close!

@Mz iMac

Are you under the impression that medals are given to winning athletes with the contingency that they never, ever do anything wrong for the rest of their lives? If so, do you have ANY idea how many Olympic medals would have to be repossessed?

I think this is an apples and oranges situation .... yes, he screwed up big time, but that doesn't negate his honest accomplishments in the Olympic games. You can't act like that never happened!

The medals he won in Rio. Those are the ones that should be taken away from him.

@hckynut

You make some pretty good points. However.....

"He earned every one of them and they are his to keep and cherish."

Marion Jones & Lance Armstrong thought the same. We know what happened to them!

There were others<---link

I do not think that Ryan should be stripped of his medals. Marion and Lance were stripped of their medals and should have been but that was completely different. They cheated in order to get their medals and likely won because of cheating. That is completely different from Ryans situation.

And Ryan will make a ton of money from DWTS.
What about all the children who looked up to him?

DWTS should use better judgement.
The first few weeks of DWTS is a popularity contest- I wouldn't be surprised if the voters 'speak' and he goes home early on.

Let me rephrase that... 'I hope the voters 'speak'....!"

@Ibby114, that's exactly what I was going to post. The most popular stay a while. Maybe the DWTS s contract was started before the s**t hit the fan.

I've followed many of these stories and some of these guys were fired. I'm not much of a sports person, but yeah, they deserve punishment too. The problem with this is that them beating on their s/o is a crime here in the US, nothing the wife beaters did had any affect on another country. Just on themselves. No comparison.
