    US Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte lost all four of his major sponsors on Monday, including Speedo USA and Ralph Lauren Corp, following his apology for an "over-exaggerated" story about being robbed at gunpoint at the Rio Games.

    Lochte's version of the incident embarrassed the host city and angered local officials, and further revelations about it - casting doubt on his story - dominated news coverage of South America's first Olympics.
