American swimmers Ryan Lochte and Jimmy Feigen could still face serious charges, and Rio de Janeiro civil police chief Fernando Veloso told ESPN on Thursday that the investigation is continuing into what happened early Sunday morning at a gas station outside of Rio.Veloso also told ESPN that Feigen was interviewed at an undisclosed location late Thursday afternoon. Feigen provided an updated statement to police, U.S. Olympic officials said, and hoped to get his passport back to return home.Olympics teammates Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz checked in for a flight out of Brazil earlier in the evening after a judge lifted the order seizing their passports and keeping them in the country. They had testified about the incident earlier in the day, and Brazilians chanted Liar as they left the police building.They did not lie in their statements. They never lied to journalists. They only stayed quiet. They did not know what was going on, attorney Sergio Riera said.Brazilian authorities were still hoping to hear again from Lochte, but they may have to involve the FBI to facilitate such an interview, according to ESPNs Mark Schwarz.ABC News reported earlier that Lochte and Feigen had been indicted, citing the Federal Police of Brazil. Veloso told ESPN that no indictments have been issued.If any charges are to be recommended, they would come at the end of the investigation.The latest twist in this debacle comes after Brazilian police said the four American swimmers were not robbed at gunpoint at a gas station as they claimed.Late Thursday, the United States Olympic Committee apologized for the distracting ordeal involving the four swimmers and said it will review the matter, and possible punishments, when the Games are over and the delegation returns home.The behavior of these athletes is not acceptable, nor does it represent the values of Team USA or the conduct of the vast majority of its members, USOC officials said.USA Swimming also issued a statement, saying that the group will review the swimmers actions and consider penalties under its code of conduct.That this is drawing attention away from Team USAs incredible accomplishments in the water and by other athletes across the Olympic Games is upsetting, the statement read. The athletes and their remarkable stories should be the focus.Lochte has maintained that he and his teammates were robbed at gunpoint at a gas station in a Rio suburb after returning from a night of partying.No robbery was committed against these athletes. They were not victims of the crimes they claimed, Veloso said during an afternoon news conference Thursday.Veloso said the four swimmers vandalized the bathroom on the side of the gas station, damaging mirrors and other property. He said surveillance video shows employees of the gas station tried to control the situation but that the swimmers went to their taxi and tried to get away.When employees realized what was going on, security guards asked the taxi driver not to leave and to wait for police. Although Brazilian police had said previously that no guns were involved in the incident, Veloso said security officers at the gas station did use guns to control the situation. The surveillance video does show a man approaching the taxi with an object in his hand, but its not clear whether it is a gun.Veloso said the gun involved was a legal weapon used by the security guard.Veloso said the athletes refused to wait for police to arrive. During that time, a third person offered to interpret and explained to the athletes that they had to pay for what they had done to the bathroom. According to Veloso, they offered to pay in the form of a $20 bill and 100 reals (about $51). Cheap Authentic Jerseys 2020 .

Ravi Bopara has stepped down as Essexs limited-overs captain after one season in the role. Bopara wants to focus on his own game, with Championship captain, Ryan ten Doeschate, taking over in all formats.Essex continued their recent trend of losing knockout matches in 2016, with quarter-final defeats in the NatWest T20 Blast and Royal London Cup - something that occurred the previous year, under ten Doeschate, as well. Boparas all-round form was solid, if not spectacular, but he went a second consecutive season without scoring a hundred in the Championship.Although Boparas bowling was a key feature of Essexs promotion to Division One - he was their third leading wicket-taker with 42 - he only managed 750 runs at an average of 37.50. His last Championship century came in June 2014.Ten Doeschate was previously Essexs limited-overs captain before succeeding James Foster in charge of the Championship side this year, leading the team up as Division Two champions at the first time of asking.ddddddddddddHe said he was happy to reunite the roles and allow Bopara, who is currently playing in the Bangladesh Premier League, to concentrate on his form.Ravi did an excellent job in limited overs cricket last year, leading us to quarter-finals in both formats, ten Doeschate. If we had a bit more luck we could have progressed further. He has decided he would prefer to concentrate on his individual game next year and make valuable contributions throughout the season.We respect Ravis decision and I was more than happy to take up the captaincy in all formats as I have thoroughly enjoyed my role in the Specsavers County Championship so far.
