Although I still thought that he left the country before he was questioned by the police, because I read that they tried to question him and he already left the country[/QUOTE]
That was my thought too.
Lochte did speak with the police before he left Brazil. This article discusses Matt Lauer’s interview with Bob Costas. Lochte met with Brazilian police who took his statement about the robbery.
In his conversation with Lauer on Wednesday, Lochte said that he had always planned to leave Rio when he did, and at the time he gave his statement to authorities, nobody told him to stay in Brazil because authorities might want to speak to him again.
“He went out of his way to say that he told them he was reachable, that he would cooperate, they could get to him through his agent or through his lawyer,” Lauer said on air in an interview with Bob Costas on Wednesday night, adding that Lochte said his meeting with Brazilian police "was casual, it was friendly, it was vague, they didn’t ask him a lot of questions. They did ask him what the gun looked like, what was taken from him. … He seemed somewhat surprised by how few questions they asked him here, considering he just told them he was held up at gunpoint.
Lauer said that at no point did authorities question Lochte’s truthfulness in his recounting of the incident. “They seemed to support everything he said, and at one point, he said to me they said, ‘Thank you,’ and they congratulated him on his performance here at the Games.”
See, that’s an amazing amount of news coverage over what turned out to be some stupid drunken behavior.
The best part of the whole thing had to be Al Roker’s smackdown while he stirred his drink.

I’m not surprised, good for him. Seems to be doing quite well and i’m happy for him.
Rumor is that Lochte will be suspended for 10 months including 2017 Worlds.
