Lochtegate Swimmer's Punished

In case you missed it, four members of USA's Olympic Swimming team were involved in a minor international incident in Rio. Among them were Ryan Lochte, formerly of the Florida Gators and Gunnar Bentz of the Georgia Bulldogs. Rounding out the team were Univ of Texas swimmers Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen. The governing bodies of USA Olympics and USA Swimming have considered the actions of those involved and notified the swimmers of their decision as to disciplinary action.

All three swimmers not named Ryan will serve a four-month suspension from domestic & international national team competitions, forfeiture of their monthly stipends and access to USOC training facilities for the suspension period.
