US swimmer Lochte 'won't respond' to Brazil false claim charge
26 August 2016 Latin America & Caribbean
US swimmer Ryan Lochte will not be responding to Brazilian police charging him with making a false statement, his lawyer says.
The charge relates to a claim he made that he and three team-mates had been robbed during the Rio Olympics.
Asked whether the swimmer would be making a public statement, his lawyer told the BBC he would "not be".
Mr Lochte flew out of Brazil after the Games before he could be questioned about the alleged false claim.

I'm still waiting for the Polizei to come after me for a speeding ticket from the 80's. They keep meticulous records.
