U.S. swimming’s resident airhead Ryan Lochte—who also happens to be a 12-time Olympic medalist—was suspended for 14 months by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency Monday for receiving a prohibited intravenous infusion. Lochte, U.S. swimming’s second-most decorated athlete behind Michael Phelps, ran into trouble with the anti-doping authority in the most Lochte possible way: He posted a picture of himself on Instagram receiving the IV, complete with the hashtag “#ivdrip.” Neither the picture—since deleted—nor the subsequent investigation showed that the 33-year-old swimmer used a ban substance; the violation is that he used the IV drip at all.
