“I think your premise to start this conversation, I’m not sure I agree with it. You say he made up everything and is lying about being robbed.

Kocsis added he “didn’t think” the coverage of Lochte was fair. However, a man claiming to be a “friend” of Lochte’s accused Kocsis of attempting to “spin” the narrative. (RELATED: Speedo Ends Ryan Lochte’s Endorsement Deal After Events In Rio)

The legendary DC writer also pointed out the hypocrisy that Lochte’s teammate Michael Phelps didn’t lose endorsements for his DUIs, but Lochte lost them for essentially just urinating on a building.
