was he covering up for being somewhere where he shouldn'tsto. he said it absolutely is not the case. he said we're victims in this and we're happy that we're safe. >> lochte also the questions were vague, weren't detailed. he said after a home burglary here in the united states a couple of years back the police were much more thorough in detail. his lawyers also say a lot of these alleged inconsistencies may be contributed to a language barrier when they gave the statements.

they didn't come forward first because they broke some team rules by being out, drinking. once they realized they had not, that's when they decided to come forward and talk to police. >> just to be clear, the swimmers who were detained aet the airport, they have been returned but they're still being asked to speak with the police. >> yes. >> thank you very much. usain bolt will be back on the track looking to add a second gold to his meanwhile shakur stevenson in boxing. in basketball they quickly dominated the team. kevin durant led the charge with 27 points. they bead argentina, 105-78. they'll play spain on friday. the game is a rematch from the
