Ryan Lochte has been banned 10 months, through next June, and excluded from next July’s world championships, after his gas-station incident and “over-exaggeration” in recounting the event at the Rio Olympics, according to TMZ and USA Today.
The three other swimmers involved — Olympic rookies Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen — received lesser bans of several months each, according to USA Today.
USA Swimming and the U.S. Olympic Committee have not confirmed the punishments. USA Swimming said Wednesday that no date has been set to announce any punishments.
