Swimmer Feigen apologizes for ‘serious distraction’ in Rio

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. swimmer James Feigen apologized for the “serious distraction” he and three teammates caused at a gas station during the Rio Olympics, saying he omitted facts in his statement to police. “I omitted the facts that we urinated behind the building and that Ryan Lochte pulled a poster off the wall,” Feigen said in a statement Tuesday on the website of his lawyer in Austin, Texas. He maintains the group didn’t force their way into a bathroom and a gun was pointed at them. Feigen said the group left the French House party around 5 a.m. in a taxi to travel back to the Athlete Village.FILE - In this Aug. 2, 2016, file photo, United States James Feigen smiles
