By now we've all heard of Lochte Gate -- the nickname of the alleged robbery of Ryan Lochte989 Archivesthree other U.S. Olympic swimmers in Rio.
Over the past few days, what started off as a simple statement from Lochte has transformed into a dramatic and extremely questionable saga.
SEE ALSO: Ryan Lochte's alleged Olympics robbery is now the biggest whodunnit since 'Serial'The Olympic swimmer originally claimed that he was robbed at gunpoint in Rio on Sunday morning by armed men posing as police officers, while he and teammates Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen were returning from a club.
Now, Brazilian authorities are questioning Lochte and teammates about the alleged event, after finding several discrepancies in their individual accounts and witnessing some questionable security footage.
On Tuesday, theDaily Mailreleased security footage of Lochte and his teammates returning to Olympic Athletes Village at around 7 a.m. on Sunday morning, after the alleged gunpoint robbery took place.
The four athletes can be seen dropping their phones and keys into the plastic containers before passing through the metal detectors. However, once they reach security, Lochte can be seen playfully hitting Feigen with his Olympic badge.
Brazilian Judge Keyla Blank, who ordered Lochte and Feigen to not leave the country, pointed to the footage as a reason she made the ruling. She said that they didn't appear to have been through a traumatic incident. "They arrived with their psychological and physical integrity unshaken," Blank wrote in her filing.
Authorities in Brazil have been unable to find concrete evidence supporting the alleged robbery, and after reviewing this footage, Blank called attention to the fact that it took the athletes around three hours to reach the Olympic Village, despite the fact that the club they claimed to be at that evening was only about 40 minutes away.
When the ruling was delivered, Lochte had already arrived back in the United states. Feigen remains in Brazil. On Wednesday, the other two Team USA swimmers who were on the night out -- Conger and Bentz -- were pulled from their U.S.-bound flight and detained in Brazil.
A lawyer for the two athletes shared that they must remain in Brazil until they provide testimony to investigators, and since then Lochte has changed his story in an interview with Matt Lauer.

Police told BuzzFeedBrazilthey are also investigating "surveillance time-logs from inside France House — where the athletes were partying — that do not appear to coincide with the timeline the athletes gave to police."
An earlier version of this article had a headline that stated the footage was of the Lochte robbery. It has been amended for clarity.
