RIO DE JANEIRO Rio police said on Thursday that four U.S. Olympic swimmers who claimed they were robbed at gunpoint fabricated their story to cover up for a drunken night that ended with them vandalizing a gas station bathroom.
It seems that they lied, said Fernando Veloso, chief of Rio s civil police. No robbery was committed against these athletes. They were not victims of the crimes they claimed.
