U.S. swimmers Conger and Bentz land in Miami
U.S. swimmers Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz landed in Miami from Brazil early on Friday, after being moved to business class and covering themselves to avoid media during an overnight flight, according to a Reuters witness.

READER COMMENT: This is certainly a shame. If it is true that the US swimmers damaged the station they are responsible for their actions as adults. They are lucky that the owner only wanted a repayment for the damage. No excuses. If it happened in the States they would certainly be lucky to be alive.

READER COMMENT: Ryan Lochte is 31, far too old from being a kid. May be by not giving there "kids" a break will finally make them into adults as they should be if the gas station incidence proved to be true. They all need to experience the full eventuality of their actions in order to learn to be a responsible adult, particularly the oldest one - Lochte.
