The guys were dicks for vandalizing a bathroom and then embellishing the story but, technically, if you have an armed private security guard holding you at gunpoint and demanding money before they are allowed to leave - that's called robbery in US.
I would have had no problem if those athletes were arrested at the scene by authorities and the legal process take it's course, but I think they were the victim of a "shake-down".
Of course we don't have the need for armed security guards, or really any security guards, at gas stations in the US.
On the other hand the offense here was real, and if they were arrested at the scene no telling what would have happened, if they were any other foreigner other than an Olympic athlete and arrested at the scene they would still be in jail. If I were them I would have payed the bribe to a few underpaid security guards to leave the scene as well. You do NOT want to enter the Brazil criminal justice system.
