In the months following his infamous 2016 Rio Olympics scandal, Lochte tells 'ESPN' he felt so bleak, he contemplated suicide.

'Best news I've ever received,' Lochte wrote on Instagram.

'I look up in the stands and I see my mom just in tears...' Ryan grimly recounted.

'...there is a time and a place to exercise that right, and it is not during a television show that hundreds of people have worked very hard to put together,' Inaba wrote.

Season 23 of Dancing With the Stars got off to an unprecedented start on Monday night (September 12).

TV stars, Olympians and a Canadian race car driver will also compete.

It's a good thing that Ryan Lochte is a world class swimmer with multiple Olympic medals and does not relay in commercial and endorsements, because lets face it the boy is not the sharpest tool in the shed. And is terrible when it comes to interviews, and yes ladies I here you "But Steve he is hot!" to that I said " But ladies he is STUPID."
