Ryan Lochte’s name stayed in the news this week, two days after the closing ceremony of the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics. Lochte is the American swimmer who did not tell the truth about being robbed early one morning during the Rio Games. Four of Lochte’s sponsors said they would no longer support him. Two of the sponsors are well-known companies, Speedo and Ralph Lauren. Speedo makes swimwear, including the suits many swimmers wore in the Olympics. Ralph Lauren made the clothing Team USA athletes wore during the opening and closing ceremonies in Rio de Janeiro. Many companies pay money so athletes will wear their clothing, use their equipment and appear in their advertisements. Lochte got into trouble for saying he and three teammates were robbed when men posing as police officers stopped his taxi. But after the Rio de Janeiro police investigated the incident, it turned out that Lochte was not telling the truth.
