RIO DE JANEIRO -- The U.S. Olympic Committee said police had further questions for U.S. swimmers involved in a robbery report.

“There was no effort to detain anyone, but police did have further questions this a.m. It is a matter for our consulate and U.S. citizen services and we will continue to cooperate with all involved," USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said in a statement after reports Wednesday that arrest warrants were out for the swimmers.

Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte and three other U.S. swimmers said they were robbed at gunpoint early Sunday.
