Lochte also was forced to forfeit the monetary award he won for his gold medal on the 800 free relay and also cannot receive financial support from USA Swimming or the USOC during his suspension. He will not be allowed to attend the Olympic team&#8217;s White House recognition or USA Swimming&#8217;s Golden Goggles awards banquet.<\/p>\n<p>Lochte and three other U.S. swimmers (<strong>Gunnar Bentz<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Jack Conger\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Jimmy\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Feigen<\/strong>) were involved in a dust-up with local security at a gas station in Rio&#8217;s Barra neighborhood while on their way back to the Olympic village. The four allegedly urinated on the side of the building and Lochte tore a poster off the wall and then had a verbal altercation with off-duty police officers.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you think\u2014was the punishment too harsh?
