Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte may have lost sponsors and respect following his falsified robbery tale in Rio, but he?ll be starring in ABC?s Dancing with the stars. Lochte was charged with filing a false robbery report after he initially said that he and fellow swimmers Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen were robbed at gunpoint in a taxi by men with a police badge. However, according to security video, the swimmers actually encountered security guards after vandalizing a gas station bathroom. Lochte has since admitted he was intoxicated and his behavior led to the conflict. Many key sponsors dropped him, including Speedo and ralph lauren. Even so, Lochte will be on dancing with the stars starting September 12.
