US Olympic Chief Promises Further Action on Lochte

U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun announced today that further action is coming in the case of star swimmer Ryan Lochte and his three teammates whose story of a robbery at gunpoint grabbed headlines around the world.

Blackmun at a daily media briefing gave no specifics on what possible disciplinary action may be taken, but he made no effort to hide his frustration with the matter, according to the Associated Press.

"They let down the other athletes; they let down Americans; and they let down our hosts in Rio," Blackmun said of Lochte, a 12-time medalist, and the other three swimmers. "We are going to have further action on this when we get back to the United States."

Lochte originally said last weekend that he and his teammates were the victims of an an armed robbery.

But in an interview with NBC's Matt Lauer yesterday, he said he "over-exaggerated" the story.

According to police, the four swimmers vandalized a bathroom after a night of partying and armed guards confronted them and asked them to pay for the damage.
