America's Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte has revealed how he went from making millions to being penniless post the 2016 Rio Games robbery scandal, in an upcoming documentary.

High profile sponsors Ralph Lauren and Speedo dropped him, which saw Ryan, 35, reportedly lose more than $1million (approx R7.56 crore). Ryan caused a frenzy after the 12-time Olympic medallist was caught lying about a gas station encounter in Brazil.
