Really going . It explains this smile. Good evening. And we begin tonight with the growing olympic scandal. Late today, Brazilian Police are now recommending that u. S. Olympic swimmer ryan lochte, and another swimmer, james feigen, be indicted. That word comes a short time after brazilian authorities stood before the cameras and said that the u. S. Swimmers lied about being robbed at gunpoint in rio. Brazilian authorities released station where the swimmers say the robbery took place. Ryan lochte originally said the cab they were riding in was pulled over, a gun held to his head. Overnight, authorities pulling two of those swimmers off their planes before they could leave rio. Gold medal winner ryan lochte is already back home here in the u. S. So, we answer all the questions tonight, what comes next . And we begin here with abcs matt gutman in rio. Reporter as first reported by abc news, tonight, brazilian robbery was fictional. Police claiming these new Surveillance Videos fill in the missing timeline of what they say was that poorly constructed lie that humiliated the host nation of the olympics by one of the winningest olympians in history and his teammates. The police chief saying late today, it was all made up. This after two of those swimmers involved, gunnar bentz and jack conger, were pulled off their flights heading back to the u. S. Overnight. Bentz posting this snapchat video o their way to their plane. This new video emerging of the moments after they were pulled off their flight. Also tonight, the first images weve seen of the four entering that club, club france, around 1 45 a. M. Lochte snapchatting this inside the club around 2 30 a. M. The swimmer says they left the club at 4 00, but this video was stamped 5 47 a. M. They arrive at this gas station, just after 6 00 a. M. This Surveillance Video obtained by abc news appears to show the down the door, then vandalized the bathroom inside. Then, those four swimmers continued on here, back towards their taxi, and at this point, they allegedly ripped a poster off the wall before being confronted by those Security Guards. The camera cuts, showing bentz, feigen, conger and lochte walking towards the gas pumps, trying to get into the wrong cab, then, into theirs. Black who comes to their window and motions for them to get out of the car. Police say he was a gas station security officer. You see what appears to be gunnar bentz reaching into his wallet and taking out money, handing it to the man. Then, you see them walking offcamera, one swimmer with his hands up in the air. Sources who spoke to all four swimmers today insist their version still holds true. They point to a threeminute chunk of missing video which they claim would show the men being held up at gunpoint. And bullied to sit down on the curb. The video returns and you see them putting their hands up. Pocket, appearing to hand it to a man in black. They are then held there by security until 6 20 a. M. Sources telling abc news exclusively that the men were forced to hand over all of their money, about 400 by those armed men, who were not the police. 40 minutes later, you see them back at the olympic village, just before 7 00 a. M. , seemingly unfazed. Whatever happened, police saying tonight, it wasnt this. The guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead, he said, get down, and i was like, i put my hands up, i was like, whatever. Reporter we were there today as bentz and conger were walked into the Police Station. There is an intense scrum inside this Police Station right now, the two men are right around here, and everybodys trying to get their first glimpse at them. What the swimmers said, according to the police, there was no robbery. The sources who spoke to the swimmers calling that an outright lie, saying none of the swimmers have changed their story. Brazilian police saying they were initially tipped off by on monday, the ioc denying it happened, then, lochte repeats the story, which was broadcast on nbc. When asked about the suspicious behavior, the International Olympic Committee Passes the buck to the u. S. Olympic committee. Is there any concern that ryan lochte and his teammates may have been trying to cover something up . I couldnt possibly comment on that. And matt gutman with us live tonight. Matt, police have now requested that those two swimmers, including ryan lochte, be indicted. What could they be charged with and what you have learned about the other two swimmers . Reporter david, the recommendation is that prosecutors indict lochte and feigen for providing false testimony to police about what they say happened at this gas station. Now, those other two swimmers, they spent five hours at that Police Station, but were allowed to leave. David . Matt gutman leading us off tonight from rio. Matt, thank you. I want to bring in abcs chief legal an lust dalyst dan abrams. And dan, i just want to get to the bottom line here on the we heard ryan lochte early on say, they got pulled over, he was held at gunpoint. A gun to his head. What did we learn today from that surveillance . It seems pretty clear that that part of the account is not true. That they were pulled over by robbers pretending to be police officers. With that said, even based on what the authorities themselves have said, these swimmers can say, we believe we were robbed. Even if there was damage done to that gas station, if a Security Guard comes up with a gun and demands money, and the authorities concede now that guns were used, that can be considered being robbed, therefore, this is not a slam dunk case in any way, shape or form. In the meantime, that Late Development reported by abc news that police are now requesting prosecutors indict lochte and feigen. Lochte is here in the u. S. Feigen is in brazil. Could they potentially face vy different scenarios here . Huge difference. Ryan lochtes legal challenges will be over. Hes not going to get extradited to brazil to face a claim of a false police charge. And as a result, feigen could be tried in brazil in what would be an expedited trial and could face up to six months behind bars.
