But if we&#8217;d been in America we could have explained the whole situation before it turned into anything. But we weren&#8217;t in America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Troy Dalbey and Doug Gjersten, were two U.S. swimmers detained and questioned by Korean police on suspicion of stealing a stone decorative statue at a Hyatt hotel and subsequently ordered to be sent home by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC).<\/p>\n<p>Dalbey had just hours earlier swum the second leg in the 4X100 meter freestyle relay and had picked up his second gold medal of the Olympics. In the 4X200 meter freestyle relay both Dalbey and Gjertsen had been members of the winning U.S. team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were out blowing off steam, having a good time, celebrating,&#8221; said Dalbey.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He (the Hyatt employee) was drunk. I could smell it on his breath,&#8221; said Dalbey. &#8220;He was beligerent and started swinging at us. He wanted to fight. We didn&#8217;t swing back. All of a sudden there were about 10 Korean policemen around us, along with some MPs (Military Police, from the nearby U.S. Army base). They took us to a police station, where the Hyatt employee said he wanted to press charges.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So they took us to another station to file the charges. By that time the manager of the Hyatt had been alerted and he came to the police station. He said he didn&#8217;t want to file any charges and we were free to go. So we left.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But the Korean press had heard about what was happening, and by now they were writing down all the details. Because of who we were, being in the Olympics and everything, it was soon all over town.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Granted, what we did was wrong. I don&#8217;t know why we did it. It was just like, `Hey, this is cool. Let&#8217;s take it to dinner with us.&#8217; We were going to take it back. We never intended to steal it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But we didn&#8217;t scuffle with police, as was said in the news reports, and we weren&#8217;t trying to get away with an expensive work of art. We were just a couple of kids who pulled a prank. I&#8217;m sorry it happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The prank at the time was described as an international incident..<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My father called and was of course very concerned, after what he heard on TV,&#8221; said Dalbey. &#8220;I told him exactly what happened. I don&#8217;t want this to look any worse than it was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think everyone is satisfied with the facts, and that there were no charges filed,&#8221; said Dalbey. &#8220;I just want the record to be straight. It&#8217;s too bad it had to happen, and had to detract from the Olympics.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past two days there has been a quickly evolving story\u00a0surrounding what happened to US Olympians\u00a0Ryan Lochte,\u00a0Jimmy Feigen,\u00a0Gunnar Bentz, and\u00a0Jack Conger\u00a0in Rio on Sunday morning.
