US Olympic swimmers Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger have been ordered not to leave Brazil until they make a statement to police about an alleged robbery in Rio de Janeiro, their attorney said.
Bentz and Conger left the airport with attorney Sergio Riera hours after they were pulled off their flight to the United States. The attorney said the two swimmers did not provide a statement to Brazilian authorities.
He said the two were frightened and confused as to why they had been taken off their flight and from what they were being ordered to do by different authorities. He said until that confusion is resolved Bentz and Conger will not be making a statement.
A U.S. Consulate spokesperson for Rio de Janeiro was at the airport to offer consular assistance. It is not clear if the passports of the two swimmers have been taken, but they have been told by authorities they definitely cannot leave the country.
