Brazil police take US Olympic swimmers off plane home as they investigate armed robbery

On 17 August, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were taken from their flight after Brazilian Judge Keyla Blank issued a search and seizure warrant. This was issued to allow more time for police to ask additional questions related to an alleged armed robbery that happened earlier in the week. Conger and Bentz were with teammates Ryan Lochte and James Feigen when they were allegedly robbed at gunpoint by individuals posing as armed police officers as they traveled back from a party in a taxi. The judge issued the warrant as there were inconsistencies between CCTV of the swimmers arriving back at the Olympic village and what time they said they left the party. The judge also took issue with how the four appeared when they arrived back at the village after the alleged incident took place.
