By any measure, swimmer Ryan Lochte has led an extraordinarily charmed life. He was born into the kind of body and background that allowed him to turn an innate athleticism into 12 Olympic medals . Blessed with traditional good looks and a highly marketable goofball persona , Lochte made millions in sponsorship deals while enjoying the perks of reality TV fame. By all accounts, the 35-year-old now enjoys suburban domesticity with his model wife Kayla and their two young children.

So of course Lochte wants more: more medals, more money, more of the spotlight. It's hard to begrudge his desires — few among us, I think, would be content to fade away gracefully from cultural relevance.

The Rio Olympics also hosted Lochte's downfall, which was precipitated by his lying to Billy Bush on camera that, on an early August morning after a drunken night of celebratory partying, he and his teammates were pulled over by the police and robbed at gunpoint, with the cinematic detail that a firearm had been held against his head. In actuality, the Olympians had stopped at a gas station to relieve themselves and, finding the restroom locked, urinated outside and tore down a poster.

Lochte's exaggerations of the violence of the night briefly made him a poster boy for entitlement and privilege and lost him his most prominent endorsement deals. It seems fair to say, though, that the incident has been largely forgotten by those outside the Lochte family.

It doesn't help that Lochte is as inarticulate and unreflective as you remember him. You can probably guess the "revelations" parceled out by the documentary: that he "bust [his] ass" to be the second best in the world, that he thought he'd have more money by now, that the 25-year-old version of himself wouldn't believe what a settled-down, normal-ish father his 35-year-old self has become.
