Ryan Lochte's criminal case in Brazil has been dismissed.

According to USA Today, an appellate court in Brazil cleared the 32-year-old Olympic swimmer of any criminal charges, concluding that Lochte did not break the law in exaggerating the details of an incident at a gas station during the Rio Olympics in August.
The appeals court also ruled that Brazilian law was not broken because the investigation was initiated by the authorities in Rio, not Lochte, and that what he said in his NBC interview didn't constitute as a false report.

Rio officials have offered Ryan Lochte a deal to make his criminal case go away ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Sure, Russia’s Aliya Mustafina only led Biles by 0.034 points. Sure, the remaining exercises — balance...
