2 US swimmers were taken off their plane, their passports seized, and they have been detained by Brazilian police.
The swimmers tale of being robbed at gunpoint by multiple assailants appears full of holes. Security video at the club shows them leaving at a different time than claimed, and security video at the hotel shows them arriving calm and still with their wallets, watches, and cell phones. I suspect, if anything, they got ripped off by hookers (female or shemale) but can't admit it.
Their story does sound weak now that the official doubts are voiced. I hope the swimmers stories hold up - but for now it doesn't sound like they will.
Shame, it seems they won glory and then pooped it away with foolish lies.

That wouldn't be out of the ordinary in South America. Just because they're American doesn't mean they can do as they please. There isn't anything out of the ordinary with what Brazil is doing. The U.S. would do the same thing to a foreign tourist.
Really? They did something wrong it appears, and your argument is "yee haaa! lets fight! I don't care if they dun right er wrong, they're my buddies!"
Seriously, its not just Trump that scares me, its some of his supporters.
You scare me more. You actually think it's appropriate to not let our athletes leave because they may have mislead on how they were robbed? Whether they were robbed by men flashing a badge or at a brothel, they were still robbed. Brazil did not have to detain them and make a big stink about it. They could have questioned them for a few minutes and let them go on their way. They have no right to detain them. The fact that you think it's just hunky dory for our people to be held by a third world country for nothing is a little scary.
