Perhaps more important to him would be the loss of endorsements if it turns out he invented the story to cover up some thuggish behavior at the service station.

He is clearly going to be far more concerned with what the effect of his conduct would be to his reputation and endorsement prospects in the U.S. than he is about breaking any Brazilian laws. It would clearly be easy -as it has been - to stir up American chest-thumping and finger-pointing, and, thus, keep the spotlight on Evil Brazil and away from anyone looking into what he might have done.

If by chance the whole thing was a lie cooked up to cover some stupid minor misconduct of their own, it will now make him look worse than just saying, "Oh, we had a bit too much to drink and blah blah blah....so sorry, never meant any harm. I love Brazil, I love America...I LUV everybody..kiss, kiss."

If his I-stood-tough story proves to be false he will be eaten alive on social media.

Without evidence? NYT thinks otherwise

then his teammates admitted lying

Ryan Lochte's Teammates Admitted to Fabricating Robbery, Brazilian Officials Claim - Us Weekly


Of course you would still deny. How much is what Brazilian police provide worth? The corrupted country must be lying, because you know, you can't trust the government of a non-western country, can you?

you keep your hero. He is trash to me.
As is yours to me. But Lochte (not my hero, by the way) never committed mass murder:

I do feel bad for anyone who is a victim in Brazil or anywhere, but Lyin' Ryan isn't one of those people.

Those guys just made a mess of their time at the Olympics. Now all anybody will remember is that they are liars.

Mao is a murderer and cause more harm than good to China. He should be cursed. We have no disagreement here. He should have died in 1950 and China would be a much better country today.

Bad conduct by the athletes but a security guard holding up a person at gun point and demanding immediate payment for damage - that's called robbery. I very much doubt any of that money found its way back to repair any damage.
What would happen in the US if a security guard did that?

Depending on their demeanor, they might have been shot dead in the U.S.

wow never trust other people.
Narcissists and sociopaths lie like it's second-nature. Lochte seems pretty narcissistic to me... (BTW the crying in this video is due to laughter.)
