This is nbc nightly news with lester holt reporting tonight from the olympic summer games in rio. Good evening. Did they make the whole thing up . The Olympic Games here being overshadowed tonight by the stunning announcement by Rio De Janeiro police today that ryan lochte and three other american swimmers were not robbed at gunpoint as lochte had claimed. Tonight Surveillance Video shows a series of events at a rio gas station early sunday morning that supports some elements of the american story including being held at the point of a gun but contradicts much of what lochte has previously told nbc news. Miguel almaguer is working the story for us and has late details. Miguel . All right lester, good evening. Two american swimmers were here at this Police Station by our account for at least five hours. At times they were joined by officials government office. Its clear investigators still have many questions. Whats unclear is if they got all the answers they were looking for. Tonight Brazilian Police say american swim star ryan lochte is not a victim but a vandal. After days of confusion, police now say lochte, jimmy feigen, gunnar bentz and jack conger were not robbed. Instead police say the swimmers damaged this gas station bathroom, breaking a mirror and a soap dispenser. The athletes then paid for the damage. The incident caught on a series of closed circuit videos. This footage shows the swimmers leaving a party at club france at 5 47 a. M. The swimmers then say they got into a taxi. By 6 06 a. M. Theyre at this gas station. This video shows them near the bathroom when an attendant walks up, they run out. Brazilian Officials Say the swimmers tried to leave and the station called police. At 6 09 a man gun at the car for nine seconds. Three minutes later the swimmers get out. One appears to pull money from his wallet. Another puts his hands up. At 6 56 a. M. , the four men arrive back at the athletes village. Both the video and Police Account are inconsistent with what ryan lochte told the today shows billy bush on sunday. We got pulled over in our taxi. A guy pulls out this forehead, said get down. I put my hands up, like whatever. Reporter when lochte spoke to matt laue by phone last night he changed some of the details admitting he was not pulled over on the street but was indeed at the gas station at the time of the incident. As for the gun i pointedly said to him, you had said before it was placed on your forehead and cocked. He said, no, thats not exactly what happened. Reporter Police Say Two security asked to wait for police to arrive, but police say they refused to stay. Lochte returned to North Carolina earlier this week. Today posting this video to a fellow swimmer on instagram and taking it down a few hours later. But the three other swimmers remain in rio. Last night bentz and conger were pulled from their planes, detained for hours and questioned by police. Some brazilians are demanding an apology thats very good. Reporter at this police sub station, this was the scene after theyere questioned by investigators. Thats the americans leaving right now. And when they drove away, they drove off to the chant of liars, liars and people yelling you should be ashamed. Tonight in rio security has been stepped up. Police say their investigation is ongoing. The americans are now gone, but the anger isnt. Lester, i have been decade. Ive never quite seen a scene like this one. The u. S. Olympic committee has said all the swimmers were cooperating with investigators. And we have late word tonight that swimmer jimmy feigen is now talking to police at this hour. Lester . Miguel almaguer here in rio tonight. We want to bring in our colleague from nbc sports the host of nbc olympic primetime coverage, bob costas. Many are incensed at the idea that the the up story after so much american success on the Playing Field what kind of stain might this leave on these games . I dont know about the games overall, but it certainly doesnt help ryan lochte. The other swimmers arent helped by it either but hes the boldfaced name. Swimmers generally dont make their money off competition, off prize money. They make it off endorsements. This is going to hurt him. This is going to stain his reputation. Do you think an apology is in order if what the brazilian authorities are saying is true . Is in order just as a general matter of decency, but i also think its a matter of diplomacy. It seems to me unlikely that ryan lochte and his colleagues wind up in a criminal court, but somehow this has to be untangled and it is a Public Relations mess. The brazilians are sensitive about the reputation that rio has nor street crime. Theres legitimacy in that reputation, but if a false claim has been made in the spotlight of the Olympic Games they want that claim te they want an apology, and they want it to be made clear that in this particular case they are not at fault. All right. Bob costas, always good to have you on. Thanks so much. Thanks, lester. Now to a pair of disasters unfolding in separate parts of the country at home.
