Major sponsors react to Ryan Lochte’s robbery lies

It seems the US swimmer's embellished story has proved toxic for his All American boy brand.

Ryan Lochte has lost four sponsors on Monday after his Rio robbery story turned out to be false.

The US swimmer has been dropped by Speedo USA, Ralph Lauren, Syneron-Candela and Airweave following a drunken incident in Rio which saw Lochte claim he was held up at gunpoint along with four other American athletes.
