Amid the rumors that US Swimmers lied about being robbed at gun point in Rio, star Ryan Lochte took to his Instagram page to issue an apology:

else if ( document.addEventListener ) { document.addEventListener( 'DOMContentLoaded', func, false ); }
else if ( document.attachEvent ) { document.attachEvent( 'onreadystatechange', func ); }
} )();

Lochte never specifically says what he is apologizing for, however Rio Police officials released a surveillance video of the swimmer’s late night outing at a gas station.  Watch the video below and let us know what you think about the swim team’s actions in Rio:
