US swimmers ordered to stay in Brazil

A judge in Brazil has issued an order to prevent US swimmers Ryan Lochte and James Feigen from leaving the country on the grounds they gave conflicting accounts of their robbery outside the Rio Games on Sunday, a Brazilian daily has said.

Lochte, one of swimming’s most decorated Olympians, had already returned to the US ahead of the court ruling, the newspaper quoted Brazilian police as saying. It was unclear if Feigen had also left the country.

The swimming competition ended on Saturday.
