Ralph Lauren announced Monday it would not renew its sponsorship contract with Ryan Lochte, becoming the second company to drop the U.S. Olympic swimmer in the wake of his scandal in Rio de Janeiro.
Earlier Monday, Speedo USA executives said the company would drop its sponsorship of Lochte and donate $50,000 to charity.
In Ralph Lauren's case, the company stated its contract with Lochte was for the 2016 Rio Olympics only, and would not be renewed. "Ralph Lauren continues to sponsor the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team and the values that its athletes embody."

"Ryan Lochte has done absolutely irreparable damage to his reputation and marketability regardless of what the final investigation in Rio reveals about whether he embellished or lied, in addition to his reprehensible personal behavior as an 'ugly American,'" Ray Katz, managing partner of ROI Sports Marketing Group and Columbia University professor, told FoxBusiness.com.Anyone disagree?

Poor guy. A single day changes his life.
Actions have consequences. A lot of pregnant teenagers have learned that as well.

Meanwhile, in the name of "convenience", Madam Hillary Benghazi exposed countless assets, weakened this Country, and sold off OUR uranium to enrich herself but if you listened to the media, you'd never know that.

And his apology via instagram was more “I got caught, sorry” instead of the real sincere one. I can understand you dont snitch on your homies’ thing though. He stuck with the lie and got caught. He can learn a lot about perfecting lies from our current Emperor in the White Hut..

He lied, he got caught and unlike the Clinton’s he will pay a price. One pays in this life, the other in the next. As it stands, it is the Clintons who have an eternal destiny scheduled with their old pal The Swimmer.
Ryan needs to keep away from that pool.

Thing is, we’re not talking teenagers here (which it seems most people think is the case), we’re talking a 32 years old MAN.
