Ryan Lochte and three other team mates robbed at gun point

Lochte, Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy
Feigen were stopped by people posing as armed
police, the US Olympic Committee (USOC) said
in a statement.

The robbers demanded money and other
personal belongings.

Initially the International Olympic Committee
(IOC) denied reports of the robbery, before the
US committee confirmed it had taken place.
Lochte said on Twitter that he and the other
athletes were " safe and unharmed ", and thanked
all those who had given him support.
