Here's what he had to say about Ryan:

"Lochte's suffered knee surgery and now a groin injury, but doesn't he always suffer something? Isn't this par for the course, and if so, given Lochte's history, should we even consider his injuries?

Lochte may face-off with Phelps in the 200 IM, and I DO KNOW for a fact that Lochte's breaststroke is weak. Long months elapsed this season without practicing one breaststroke kick because of his recuperating knee. Then again, Lochte popped a 1:59 at Sectionals in Florida. Maybe he has buffed up his fly and his free."
