If you drink enough, you’ll have some embarassing stories to tell.
I’m from Rio and I saw my cousins get really mad about it, and I told them something like “hey, we’ve been in worst situations and got away with much more ridiculous lies”. Remove the “famous american swimmer” thing, and it’s just another drunk guy having a silly fight. Lochte isn’t even that famous in Brazil.
The media tries to turn everything into a big story. That’s pathetic, and it’s even more pathetic when reasonable people buy into these stories.
Rio people should rebrand the city based on Amsterdam. Rio should be South America’s Amsterdam. A beautiful place that is proud to receive stoners from all over the world, and laugh with and at them. I don’t understand why Rio takes itself so seriuously.
