Im still not sure if Ryan Lochte was actually robbed in Rio de Janeiro.
The U.S. Olympic swimmer certainly exaggerated his version of events during a late-night rest stop, leaving out parts about urinating on and tearing a poster from the side of a gas station. Still, armed security guards did demand money from him and his friends. The whole controversy was ridiculous.
But it wasnt enough to stop a company committed to crime prevention from signing Lochte, even if every major corporation associated with the three-time silver medalist dropped him as a sponsor.
Actually, because Speedo, Ralph Lauren and others canned Lochte in the aftermath of his disgraceful behavior at the Summer Olympics, the soon-to-be Dancing With the Stars contestant and Robocopp are a corporate fit. When you boil it down, theyre both desperate enough to benefit from the other.
