Ryan Lochte has been banned from swimming until next June and will forfeit 100,000 dollars (£75,000) in bonus money that went with his gold medal at the Olympics.

It used to be the Cubans, but now it tends to be a lot of Syrians/Middle Eastern competitors that are eager to get in the water.

Nice, CADS.

An Olympic boxer has been arrested over a suspected sex attack, police have said.

Officers in Rio de Janeiro detained the Moroccan after an allegation of rape was made.

He was arrested on Friday and held in a cell - a day before his first fight at the 2016 Brazil Games.

Didn't realise GB's middleweight Anthony Fowler is Robbie's cousin. Will keep an eye on him.
