Ryan Lochte in scooter crash yesterday

http://theswimmerscircle.com/blog/featured/video-ryan-lochte-in-scooter-crash-teammate-marco-loughran-gets-the-worst-of-it/

Info via The Swimmers Circle:

"Florida Gator Marco Loughran was admitted to a hospital this morning after a minor scooter accident that involved Ryan Lochte, the best swimmer in the world at the moment.
Lochte was driving Loughran to practice on Wednesday morning at their home training base in Gainesville when he lost control of his scooter. Loughran was admitted to North Florida Regional Medical Center with “minor internal injuries.” Lochte did some minor damage to his knee, which could be significant as it was knee injuries that plagued his training throughout most of 2010.
More details about the crash, and the conditions of both swimmers, should come out today. Neither injury is serious or life-threatening, but with a program that puts in as much in-season intensity and yardage as the Gators do, even a few days out of the water could cause a premature taper."

Hope they are both OK!!

Ryan is hurt...




I still think his groin is hurt, causing his breaststroke to be off. Nevertheless, according to this quote in Sports Illustrated today Ryan said he hurt his knee:

"I tried my hardest," said Lochte, who said he tweaked his knee on Sunday after first injuring it twisting to get something out of the backseat of his car. "It's fun just going out and racing. This meet wasn't one of my greatest."
