RIO DE JANEIRO -- Brazilian police charged American swimmer Ryan Lochte on Thursday with filing a false robbery report over an incident during the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.A police statement said Lochte would be informed in the United States so he could decide whether to introduce a defense in Brazil. The indictment will also be sent to the International Olympic Committees ethics commission, it said.The investigation was concluded on Thursday and Olympic American swimmer Ryan Lochte was indicted for the crime of falsely reporting a crime, the statement said.It said the case was turned over to a special Brazilian court that has jurisdiction over crimes related to major sporting events. The court, which was established before Brazil hosted soccers 2014 World Cup, is authorized to receive cases straight from the police when lesser charges are involved, without a need for prosecutors.The swimmers spokeswoman, Melissa Nathan, said Lochte had no comment.During the games, Lochte initially said that he and fellow swimmers Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen were robbed at gunpoint in a taxi by men with a police badge as they returned to the Olympic Village from a party Aug. 15.Video surveillance emerged showing the athletes getting into a confrontation with security guards at the gas station when their taxi pulled over to let them use the restroom. While there have been conflicting versions over whether the guards pulled their weapons on the swimmers, Lochte has since acknowledged he was highly intoxicated and that his behavior led to the confrontation.Lochte left Brazil shortly after the incident. Three days later, local authorities took Conger and Bentz off an airliner heading to the United States so they could be questioned about the robbery claim. They were later allowed to leave Brazil, as was Feigen, after he also gave testimony. Feigen, who initially stood by Lochtes testimony, was not charged.Under Brazilian law, the penalty for falsely filing a crime report carries a maximum penalty of 18 months in prison. Lochte could be tried in absentia if he didnt return to face the charge.The United States and Brazil have an extradition treaty dating back to the 1960s, but Brazil has a long history of not extraditing its own citizens to other nations and U.S. authorities could take the same stance if Lochte is found guilty.That is currently the case of the head of Brazils football confederation, Marco Polo del Nero, who faces charges in the wide-ranging scandal entangling international soccers ruling body, FIFA. He has not travelled outside Brazil for more than a year to avoid being arrested by U.S. authorities somewhere else.The charges in Brazil raise questions about the future for Lochte, who is planning to take time off from swimming but wants to return to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He has 12 Olympic medals, second only to Michael Phelps among U.S. male Olympians.Lochte lost four major sponsors early this week over the controversy, including Speedo USA and Ralph Lauren. But on Thursday he picked up a new sponsor -- Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops. Pine Bros. said people should be more understanding of the swimmer and said he will appear in ads that say the companys product is Forgiving On Your Throat. Air Force 1 2020 .J.

MANCHESTER, England -- Jose Mourinho resumes his rivalry with Arsene Wenger on Saturday on the back of a simple message: Give me some respect.The biggest subplot to the high-profile Premier League match between Manchester United and Arsenal on Saturday at Old Trafford is the renewal of the often-spiky coaching relationship between Mourinho and Wenger.The managers have clashed repeatedly over the years, either on the touchline -- Wenger once shoved Mourinho in the chest following an argument in the technical area -- or via verbal barbs in news conferences.Mourinho is rarely short of an opinion when it comes to Wenger, having previously called the Frenchman a voyeur because of his regular comments about Mourinhos former club, Chelsea, and a specialist in failure during Arsenals nine years without winning trophy (2005-14).On Friday, Mourinho wondered out loud why, in his opinion, Wenger gets more credit for his achievements.Tomorrow is a match between the two managers with the best record in the Premier League, now Alex Ferguson isnt here anymore, Mourinho said, referring to his and Wengers record of winning three league titles each.Does that mean we should be respected, even in periods where our results are not the best? I think Mr. Wenger has that respect, I dont think I have. Especially because my last Premier League title was 18 months ago, not 18 years ago. I dont think I get that respect.Mourinhos most recent league title came in 2015, at the end of the second season of his second stint at Chelsea. Wenger hasnt won the league with Arsenal since 2004.Yet, Mourinho feels he is targeted for criticism more than Wenger. United has struggled this season in Mourinhos first year in charge and goes into Saturdays game in sixth place, six points behind Arsenal and eight points behind first-place Liverpool after 11 games.Some bbelieve Mourinho is already losing his grip at United after a number of public outbursts toward his players and what some pundits believe to be his outdated playing style compared to some of the younger Premier League managers.ddddddddddddourinho said his track record of winning league titles at every top club he has managed -- FC Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan -- demands that he gets more time. And, that word again, respect.When I was sacked at Chelsea, I was not in trouble. I had lots of offers, Mourinho said. I could be working in some of the biggest cubs in Europe and I waited for the chance to work at a club where I wanted to be.The arrival of Mourinho in English football in 2004 is one of the major reasons why Arsenal declined as a major force, damaging Wengers reputation in the process. Fueled by Roman Abramovichs heavy spending, Chelsea became the best team in England the season after Arsenal won the championship by going through the 2003-04 campaign unbeaten.That might be the reason why Wenger has had issues with Mourinho. In 13 competitive meetings with sides managed by Mourinho, Wengers Arsenal has never triumphed, drawing six times and losing seven times.Thats not important, Mourinho said. I dont play against managers. Its my team that plays against another managers team. Some records are better than others. But in the end, a football match is an isolated event.Wengers only success over Mourinho came in the 2015 Community Shield.You know, we didnt lose always, Wenger said. We have beaten them and there was many draws as well. I think I have won against every manager in the world during my 20 years here and I do not make of this game a competition between two managers.
