Olympics hero Ryan Lochte described a "crime scene" at the Brazilian gas station where he had to face down an armed robber. "The guy pulled out his gun," said Ryan. "He cocked it, put it up to my forehead, and he said, 'Get down' — and I put my hands up. I was, like, 'Whatever.'" But as anyone can see in the video following, Ryan didn't face anything deadlier than international embarrassment!

Instead of being robbed, this video shows the swimmers in an argument at the gas station about the damages they did to the business' bathroom! Charges have ranged from damaging the door to tearing down a poster — but Radar Online has also revealed that Ryan has been busted in the past for drunkenly urinating in public and for disorderly conduct.

Now there are whispers that Ryan — along with teammates Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger, and Jimmy Feigen — made up the story about being mugged by thieves just to cover up some kinky exploits at nightspot Club France before getting in trouble at the gas station. Their lie quickly fell apart, though, once it was revealed that they'd never even called the cops!

U.S. Swimmers Detained At Rio Airport In Robbery Inquiry
Ryan is now safely back in the USA while his fellow teammates (like Conger, pictured) are talking to police in Brazil — after their story also had them lying to the FBI and the State Department. Their teammate Michael Phelps, meanwhile, is starting his retirement as he put his own days of peeing scandals behind him!
