Ryan Lochte Faces Protest on "Dancing with the Stars"
-----------------------------------------------------

U.S. Olympic gold medalist swimmer Ryan Lochte faced protest during his
appearance on the television show "Dancing with the Stars." Lochte has
been charged by Brazilian police for falsely reporting a crime, after he
and his teammates claimed they were robbed at gunpoint during the
Olympic Games in Rio. Brazilian authorities say the Olympic swimmers
actually vandalized a gas station and then invented a story about having
been the victims of a robbery. On Monday night, two protesters attempted
to rush the stage right after Lochte's performance of the foxtrot. This
is judge Carrie Ann Inaba's reaction.

Carrie Ann Inaba: "You have a long way to go. Swimming is a-excuse me.
Hey, back off! Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Off! Off! Excuse me."

Tom Bergeron: "Wow, OK. I'll tell you what. All right, we're going
to-we'll take a break."
