Australian swimmers Josh Palmer and Emma McKeon have been banned from the Rio closing ceremony for breaking team curfew. The team curfew was implemented for fears surrounding safety, after U-S swimmer Ryan Lochte said he was held up at gunpoint in a taxi. Meanwhile, Brazilian police say four American Olympic swimmers made up a story that they had been mugged in Rio, to cover up an incident in which they smashed a toilet door at a petrol station.
