		</div><p>A Brazilian court has dismissed the criminal case against US swimmer Ryan Lochte, who had been charged with filing a false robbery report during the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.</p>
<p>The court in Rio confirmed in a statement this week that it tossed out the case after determining Lochte&#8217;s robbery claim made to NBC did not constitute the filing of a fake report. Jeff Ostrow, a US lawyer for Lochte, said in a statement to USA Today they are &#8220;pleased&#8221; by the decision and the court understood Lochte &#8220;committed no crime&#8221;.</p>
<p>Under Brazilian law, the penalty for filing a false crime report is a maximum of 18 months in prison. Lochte told NBC last year that he and fellow swimmers Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen were robbed at gunpoint in a taxi by men with police badges as they returned to the Olympic Village from a party on August 15.</p>
<p>Video captured by surveillance cameras showed the athletes getting into a confrontation with security guards at a petrol station when their cab pulled over to let them use the toilet. The six-time Olympic gold medallist later acknowledged he was intoxicated and his behaviour had led to the confrontation.</p>
<p>Lochte served a 10-month suspension from competition over his behaviour in Rio.<br />
&#8220;It&#8217;s been a long suspension but it&#8217;s over,&#8221; he tweeted on July 1. &#8220;I&#8217;ve learned and became a better man from it.&#8221;</p>
