He might have some problems getting a visa to Latin American countries from now on.

It's ironic to them; our Donald Trump insults an entire country by claiming that they send us rapists and criminals and what do we send them? Some lying, entitled punks who try to make their country look bad. Brazil is not having that.

What could have probably have been resolved on the spot with a bit of humility and compensation for damages done.
Turns into an incident that exposes bigger issues with the participants Character, and end up having long term consequences in folks lives.

Sad indeed.
How is it sad? That the entitled frat boy gets exposed for what he is, a person w bad character? He tried to make an entire country look bad to cover his own bad behavior. Yes, Brazil has plenty of problems and their image was really on the line w these Olympics, (as is the case for any host country), he was willing to spin a BS story that made them look REALLY bad, (robbed by the cops), just to cover being an ass hole at a gas station.

I for one am sick and tired of the kind of privilege this implies. You see it way too much. Not sad for him in the least.

I'm seeing it as an American, and seeing the misrepresented spirit of our Olympic efforts.

These athletes are there representing us and then chose to embarrass themselves, then compound it by denigrating the host country. In a lame childish attempt to wiggle out of the situation they created.

Thereby embarrassing the whole country on the world stage.

Yep, sad to me anyways.

Sorry if my earlier post was to brief and a bit confusing.

Cheers Richard

Pretty amazing, if they'd just had the sense to STFU we'd never have heard about this.

She'd be getting the breast stroke if I had any say in the matter!

In the rest of the news, Bill is giving Hillary the Heimlich maneuver because she's choking on a noodle.

Media diversion.

WTF? Vandalizing a gas station bathroom? How old are these guys? 14? Have they been drinking for the first time? They must be dumb as rocks. You win a gold medal and this is how you party?

I guess these jocks were not well enough known for anyone to pull major advertisement funding. I hope they will be fined significantly and put on a no travel list by Brazil for reporting a crime that never happened.

They're elite athletes. They live and extremely sheltered lifestyle. I'm not surprised by this at all. If anything shenanigans like this are completely normal.

The son of the coach of the Australian cycling team works for the same company I do. He's told me some stories you wouldn't believe.

Meanwhile... 2 Australian athletes have been banned from the closing ceremony for missing the curfew.
The fact that they even have a curfew should tell you something about the maturity of these athletes.
