He is the top seed in five of those events in the men&#8217;s 30-34 age group (except the 100 breast, where he is third), and he is representing Golden Road Aquatics. The meet is being held in short course yards and runs from April 27-30.<\/p>\n<p>After winning a gold medal on the 800 free relay in Rio and finishing fifth in the 200 IM final, Lochte found himself in trouble when he was involved in an incident outside a gas station. He later admitted to lying about his role in the incident.
