USA swimmers have to follow stricter rules than many other athletes, according to swimming legend Ryan Lochte
For Team USA swimmers, the 2024 Paris Olympics is a business trip. That means there’s no leaving the Olympic Village without permission — under any circumstances.
'What do you mean you are not allowed to leave the Olympic Village?” the fan asked. “I see all kinds of Olympic athletes leaving the village.'When Kayla asked, “Why?” Ryan replied simply, “Because that’s the rule for USA swimmers.” The clip comes after Brazilian swimmer Ana Carolina Vieira was sent home for leaving the village without permission, though a spokesperson told People her dismissal was also because she 'aggressively and disrespectfully challenged the Technical Committee's lineup for the qualifiers for the women's 4x100m relay.”
USA Swimming suspended Ryan for 10 months after the incident, costing him over $1 million in sponsorship money. Ryan apologized for his behavior and the one charge against him was ultimately dropped.
