Jimmy Feigen, a member of the four athlete group who allegedly vandalized a gas station bathroom while in Rio for the Olympics, has issued a statement about what transpired that night.
While teammate Ryan Lochte was back on U.S. soil Feigen remained in Brazil cooperating with authorities on an investigation into what happened that night at the gas station. According to Feigen he voluntarily gave up his passport and was able to negotiate a charitable donation of $10.800.00, which is believed to have been awarded to the Instituto Reação (Reaction Institute), to regain his passport and leave the country. The organization aims to teach judo to Brazilians in an effort to create world-class athletes, but also in the hopes of initiating social change for many of the poorer citizens. Ronda Rousey is one of many athletes who has supported the Reaction Institute.
While Lochte has suffered the loss of four of his sponsors, no announcements have been made regarding whether or not Feigen will maintain his sponsors. Previously, Feigen has been supported by the New York Athletic Club (NYAC) and the Mutual of Omaha.
