Ryan Lochte has been charged by Brazilian police with filing a false report over an incident during the Olympics in Rio de Janerio, according to a statement obtained by USA TODAY Sports from the Rio police Thursday.

 

Lochte will be informed of the charges in the United States and can then decide whether to introduce a defense in Brazil. The statement also said a copy of the evidence could be sent to the International Olympic Committee's ethics commission.

Does anyone actually think anything is going to happen to him?

I personally think that he will reach a restitution deal like his friend did, but the real consequences will be his sponsors, most of which have already dropped him, and sanctions from USA swimming, FINA, and/or the IOC. I think a suspension from competition is likely to come from FINA, and USA swimming is unlikely to waste their breath appealing.
