Lochte and his teammates had said they were robbed early Sunday morning after leaving a party by people posing as police, but contradictions in their accounts were widely noted. Brazilian authorities said Thursday that the swimmers had made up the stories after vandalizing a gas station and paying for the damage on the spot. The video supports allegations by authorities, but does not provide a complete picture of what transpired. In the video, Lochte and his teammates Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen are shown emerging from the gas station and departing in a cab. Lochte returned to the U.S., but the others remain in Brazil where they are cooperating with authorities, according to the U.S. Olympic Committee. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4457685/ryan-lochte-gas-station-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4457685/ryan-lochte-gas-station-video/"},"headline":"Watch Footage of Ryan Lochte and Teammates From the Night They're Accused of Damaging a Gas Station in Rio","datePublished":"2016-08-18T16:44:59.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T00:04:30.182Z","description":"The video supports the claim by Brazilian authorities that the swimmers were not robbed","url":"https://time.com/4457685/ryan-lochte-gas-station-video/","keywords":["olympics"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt53ce239775cf2ed5/6988a2d2196cf4c48b03ce3f/ryan-lochte-gas-station.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"Sports","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt53ce239775cf2ed5/6988a2d2196cf4c48b03ce3f/ryan-lochte-gas-station.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"ryan-lochte-gas-station","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/sports/","name":"Sports"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/olympics/","name":"olympics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4457685/ryan-lochte-gas-station-video/","name":"Watch Footage of Ryan Lochte and Teammates From the Night They're Accused of Damaging a Gas Station in Rio"}}]}] ```
