Come clean, apologize for the lies including accusing Brazilian police of crime, get a slap on the wrist, and come home to whatever endorsement deals are left... and don't try to BS your mom ever again.

The closing ceremonies are on Sunday the 21st. Brazil may decide to send them home after the ceremonies. They will be sent home but on terms that recognize Brazilian sovereignty and don't arise claims of caving, sell-out, or soft-on-crime by Brazilians against their government.

Yes, sounds like it was actually the mom who got the ball rolling. Lochte told the robbery story to his mom, and she made the story public (thinking it was true), at which point Lochte felt he had to run with it.

Just goes to prove that even Olympic swimmers can drown in their own stupidity.

My husband by the way has already concocted an alternate story involving street tacos made of growler monkey meat and a subsequent split-second decision to knock the bathroom door down rather than soiling one's pants.

I rather like his story.
