Ryan Lochte handed 10-month swimming ban and loses bonuses over Rio incident.

"Unfortunately, this story line took attention away from the athletes who deserved it the most."

Ryan Lochte has been banned from swimming until next June and will forfeit $100,000 in bonus money that went with his gold medal at the Olympics.

It is part of the penalty for his drunken encounter at a petrol station in Brazil during last month's games.
