Rio 2016

The gold medal Olympic swimmer, known for doing stupid shit—surprise—did some stupid shit again.

An appellate court concluded that Lochte did not lie to authorities, but rather to NBC, and therefore did not commit a crime of false communication.

"Frequently and passionately" kissing your girlfriend could exonerate you from a failed drug test. Who knew?

At this week's IOC Executive Board meeting, the Rio 2016 committee asked the IOC to help settle approximately $28 million in outstanding debt. The IOC, despite receiving $4 billion in TV rights for the Games, refused.

In new comments on the Rio scandal, Lochte said, "Whether you want to call it extortion or we had to give them money to pay for the sign that got knocked down is your call."

Are you surprised?

Heavily used for three weeks, neglected by owners, otherwise fine.

Once again, everything is completely fine in the Olympic movement. Nothing to see here.

Is the difference between Russian and American sporting culture as stark as 'they're willing to cheat, and we're not'? Or is simply the case that we cheat differently?

Groups like Papo Reto have made it easier for foreign journalists to highlight the many issues in Rio. The foreign coverage, in turn, gives the groups legitimacy in Brazilian media that they've never had before.

​The anti-doping program during the Rio Olympics "would have almost certainly collapsed…in the face of great difficulties" without the extraordinary effort of the doping control workforce, according to a recently released report.

Ryan Lochte is known for having an, um, creative imagination for the facts.
