Ryan Lochte has been embroiled in controversy ever since he fabricated a story about getting robbed during a night out at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, but he's reportedly going to be back in the public eye in a few weeks.

According to Us Weekly's Megan French, the six-time Olympic gold medalist will join the cast of ABC's Dancing With the Stars, which is slated to premiere on Monday, Sept. 12.

ESPN.com's Darren Rovell confirmed Lochte is being considered for the new season, but the network has yet to confirm the swimmer's status.
