Ryan Lochte seems to be blessed with good looks and incredible athletic ability. However, he clearly was not given good luck. While in Florida, a crazy fan ran up to Lochte, jumped on him, and caused both her and Lochte to topple over. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but when Lochte fell he tore his MCL and sprained his ACL! Pretty serious injury for such a gifted athlete to suffer while doing absolutely nothing involving swimming or training.
His publicist released a statement, “As a result of a freak injury caused by an unexpected fan encounter, Ryan has suffered a torn MCL and an ACL sprain and will be taking a break from training and competition. His medical team expects him to make a full and speedy recovery and Ryan thanks everyone for their well wishes.” Of course, Lochte is training for the 2016 Olympics so he has time to recover and regain his strength. Hopefully, he is able to compete and bring home the gold one more time!
