Mr Pinocchio aka Ryan Lochte just lost one of his biggest endorsements, with Speedo pulling the plug on the swimmer in the wake of his embarrassing Rio bathroom debacle.

Speedo just issued a statement saying, “While we have enjoyed a winning relationship with Ryan for over a decade and he has been an important member of the Speedo team, we cannot condone behavior that is counter to the values this brand has long stood for.”

“We appreciate his many achievements and hope he moves forward and learns from this experience.”

Speedo also says it will donate a $50,000 portion of Lochte’s fees to Save The Children — a charity which will use the money to benefit children in need in Brazil. And I’m sure more of his sponsors will be joining Speedo, jumping off Lochte faster than The Titanic!
