Ryan Lochte banned 14 months after social media blunder

[Mosby]

Ryan Lochte‘s latest blunder came on social media. And it got him suspended 14 months.

The 12-time Olympic medalist was banned until July 2019 for a doping rule violation. One of Lochte’s social media accounts published an image of him receiving an IV infusion of a legal substance that, after a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency investigation with Lochte’s cooperation, was deemed above the legal limit of 100 milliliters on May 24.

A sniffling, well-dressed Lochte held a press conference at the Fort Lauderdale Westin Hotel as a USADA press release announced the news Monday.

“It’s devastating to my family about this because I definitely made myself a better person after Rio, and I was back in training,” said Lochte, who was banned for 10 months following his Rio 2016 gas-station incident. “I was feeling good. I was swimming fast. My son being born. Everything was happening. Everything was perfect, and then this happened. And it’s devastating.

It was a B vitamin complex, if I were Ryan, I would consider a court action to make the USADA prove there is some sort of benefit if the person does not have a deficiency.

2. That's quite the way to get banned

Look at me, injecting myself in illegal fashion.

A poster named Towelie on the top swimming site SwimSwam.com had the perfect comment:

"This the most Ryan Lochte thing ever to happen"

3. BTW, US championships begin Wednesday

5 days and the most important meet of the year. Essentially the qualifying meet for Pan Pacs later this year and the world championship team next year. Lochte was scheduled to participate, before the ban.

Will air on Olympic channel nightly -- generally at 9 PM -- and also NBCSN

Stars are expected to be Katie Ledecky and Caleb Dressel, who is not a household name right now but there are massive expectations toward 2020 and Tokyo...perhaps 5 gold medals or more.

4. Ryan Lochte really is just a stupid human being

He should have just been banned for life after his idiocy in Rio. Too bad he's already reproduced as he really shouldn't be contributing to the gene pool.
