Ryan Lochte, the disgraced American swimmer, has apologised for not being more honest in how he described what happened during an early morning brawl at a service station.

In a post on Instagram, he said:

I want to apologise for my behaviour last weekend – for not being more careful and candid in how I described the events of that early morning and for my role in taking the focus away from the many athletes fulfilling their dreams of participating in the Olympics.”
