Speedo, Others Drop Ryan Lochte Endorsements
The current is against him. After an embarrassing Olympic saga in which he admitted embellishing his tale of being robbed at gunpoint in Rio, the gold medalist was dropped by sponsors Speedo, Ralph Lauren, hair-removal company Syneron Candela and mattress maker Airweave. Lochte, 32, has been heaped with public scorn after his tale of being robbed with three fellow Team USA swimmers was exposed as drunken hijinks and gas station vandalism. Speedo will donate $50,000 of Lochte’s fee to Save the Children in Brazil, and he faces further punishment from the U.S. Olympic Committee.
