Oh wait, Lochte has been charged with public urination and disorderly conduct in the US in the past. My bad. Turns out they are forgiving in Brazil.

You are really reaching here. I know he's a dumbass but you seem to have some illogical hate towards Lochte. I don't think anyone knows what the police report says. You are assuming the police report is what Lochte says in his interview. It could be more in line with what actually happened.
We also don't know if it was just a security guard detaining them and waiting for police. Why don't we know that? Because the video footage of that time frame was mysteriously deleted/hidden by the gas station or the Brazilian authorities. I'm guessing it was much worse than you are assuming.
You are also assuming the bathroom was trashed. We have pictures. It wasn't. A sign was torn a little, and a ****ty door may have had it's lock broken. And they may have peed on the floor (it's a public restroom at a gas station, so I'm sure they aren't the first to do that that night). And I don't think it's considered public urination if it's in a bathroom, even if you are peeing on the floor.
Yes, I think Lochte embellished the **** out of the story, probably to sound cool and get more ladies. But i do actually think he thought he was robbed. There is a middle ground between (a) Lochte not getting robbed and making everything up and (b) Lochte's original story. From everything I've seen that's what actually happened (of course the video could tell us exactly what happened but they won't show that for some suspicious reason). He was robbed, but it was nowhere near the type of robbery he described in the interview. I don't see how there is much debate about it at this point.
