Ryan Lochte No Longer In Debt Thanks To Debt.com

It is easy to think that earning lots of money that allow us to meet all our needs and have some savings, investments, and all the other things that come with, is a surefire way to guard against debt. Life, however, often shows us otherwise. Many would be surprised at the life events that can lunge even the super rich and accomplished among us into debt and financial woes at a moment's notice. This is exactly what happened to Ryan Lochte - even though, his own financial undoing is arguably a result of his own poor choices.

The Long and Short of the Ryan Lochte Story

Ryan Lochte is a name you are likely to hear mentioned in any discussion regarding some of America's most accomplished athletes and legendary Olympians. Lochte is an accomplished American swimmer and owner to a whopping 12 Olympic medals - six of which are gold. He is one of the most decorated male Olympic swimmer in history - second only to the great Michael Phelps. Naturally, with these sorts of accomplishments, the financial rewards of sports endorsements seemed virtually endless. Ironically, it would be an Olympic 'performance' at the 2016 Rio games that would also see to his financial downfall.

Falling From Grace and Swimming in Debt

After returning home to the United States upon successfully completing his events at the Rio Olympics, Ryan Lochte became the center of a media storm due to his assertion that he and three other US Olympic swimmers were the victims of a robbery at gunpoint by men posing as local police while in Rio. The story made headlines in major news outlets across the world. Of course, such a story involving a decorated Olympian would naturally be investigated and the details of the tale would surface. This is where it all began to fall apart for Lochte.

The more investigators looked into Lochte's claim about being robbed, the more it became clear that Lochte was indeed lying. What was even worse was that Lochte and the other swimmers appeared to be the ones at fault as they allegedly vandalized a gas station's restroom, after which a security guard drew his gun, demanding that the swimmers pay for the damage they did. After surveillance video surfaced, Lochte tried to do damage control, but the damage had already been done. Lochte lost his endorsement deals with Nike and other organizations that felt the Olympian's behavior was contrary to their brand and the message they were about. The fallout from this media fiasco left the Olympic swimmer in a position of being in need of second chances and some goodwill himself. It was then that American debt solutions company Debt.com saw the perfect opportunity to both throw Lochte a lifeline and build their own company and brand by bringing their services to the doorsteps of Americans through new ad and marketing campaigns based around the swimmer.
