This is what happens when you don't tell the truth.

Ryan Lochte will be suspended from the sport of swimming for ten months and will not be allowed to compete in the 2017 world championship meet, as the result of his Rio robbery lying scandal during the Olympics. The next time he will be able to compete will be in summer 2019.

The other swimmers that were with the 12-time Olympic medalist will also face punishment, but not to the same severity, as it was Lochte that spoke publicly about the incident and caused the whole mess.

Lochte concocted the elaborate fib that his group was held at gunpoint and robbed at a gas station, when in reality they were intoxicated and caught urinating in public and defacing property, upon which they were asked to pay for the damages.

Since his return to the US, Lochte has been dropped by sponsors including Speedo, Polo Ralph Lauren, Gentle Hair Removal and mattress maker Airweave.

He's currently attempting to repair his image by competing on the new season of Dancing with the Stars. We hope he likes getting down in the ballroom, because he won't be strutting his stuff in the pool for a good while!
