YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Rio Olympics haven’t exactly gone off without a hitch. There have been many many hitches. In one recent example, criminals disguised as police robbed US swimmer Ryan Lochte and three others at gunpoint. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Ryan Lochte and three other U.S. swimmers were held up at gunpoint early Sunday morning.
Lochte described the incident to NBC on Sunday afternoon.
""We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over," Lochte said. "They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground — they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didn't do anything wrong, so — I'm not getting down on the ground.
"And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, 'Get down,' and I put my hands up, I was like 'whatever.' He took our money, he took my wallet — he left my cell phone, he left my credentials."
His mother Ileana Lochte confirmed the robbery to USA TODAY Sports on Sunday morning.
“I think they’re all shaken up. There were a few of them,” Ileana Lochte said. “No, they were just, they just took their wallets and basically that was it.””*
