Companies that sponsor Ryan Lochte mostly stayed quiet on Thursday, as the tale of Lochte and his teammates getting robbed at gunpoint in Brazil got a bit muddier. The day ended with Brazilian authorities investigating the account given by Lochte and fellow Team USA swimmers?Jimmy Feigen,?Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz.Of the companies that pay Lochte to endorse their product, only one expressed support.Motokuni Takaoka, founder of Airweave mattress, which signed Lochte in December, said in a statement: We do not condone unlawful behavior and will continue to monitor the investigation closely.I respect the athletic performance of Ryan, and as long as he is a respectable athlete, he will remain a US ambassador for airweave as long as our partnership agreement remains effective. Our focus is on supporting Team USA, and our hope is people will remain focused on cheering on the athletes who will have events to compete in.A photo of Lochte has since been removed from the front page of the companys website.?Industry sources say that Lochte has only around $1 million worth of deals left. His Speedo agreement, which was a 10-year deal signed in 2006, expires this year.Speedo is following the situation, and has a policy not to comment on ongoing legal investigations, the company said in a statement.The controversy surrounding the four American swimmers began when they claimed to have been robbed at gunpoint at a gas station in a Rio suburb Sunday morning after a night of partying. The Brazilian police claim the story was fabricated and that the athletes vandalized the gas stations bathroom.Other sponsorship deals Lochte has include Ralph Lauren and Syneron Medical, owner of Gentle Laser Hair Removal, which he has been the face of since late April.Officials with the two companies did not return multiple requests for comment.Lochte lists Marriott as a sponsor on his website, but Marriott says it does not currently have an endorsement relationship with Lochte.Lochte was Ralph Laurens most prominent Olympic spokesman, having a deal with the official clothing brand that has produced Team USAs opening and closing ceremony outfits since December 2011.Lochte potentially being in trouble is another nightmare scenario for Speedo, which didnt see its three most promoted athletes win an individual medal in Rio. Lochtes only medal was a gold in the mens 4x200 freestyle relay; Missy Franklin didnt medal, and Cullen Jones didnt even make the team.Brazilian police maintained Thursday afternoon that Lochte and the three other U.S. swimmers were not robbed, but confirmed that a gun was involved and money changed hands after the swimmers allegedly vandalized a gas station bathroom.
