Ryan Lochte dives into ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in wake of Rio scandal

Two days before Ryan Lochte first fibbed about being robbed in Rio, a Twitter user made a wish: Put the swimmer on “Dancing with the Stars.”

Caviar Fernandez, your dream is coming true.

USA Today confirms that Lochte is going on the ABC dance show, “locking down a deal in the works before his Olympic saga, [said] a person familiar with the deal.”

“The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the addition of Lochte has not been announced publicly,” USA Today said.

But the cat is out of the bag, and snark has hit the pool.

So Hope Solo gets suspended for speaking her mind meanwhile Ryan Lochte gets cast on “Dancing with the Stars”? pic.twitter.com/qS4GoFh14t

Ryan Lochte wants to be on Dancing With the Stars. Bad idea. As soon as he loses, he will claim he got robbed.

Hope Solo treated like a sports criminal as Ryan Lochte might be rewarded with Dancing with the Stars. Our planet is about to implode.

USA Soccer should have just made Hope Solo do Dancing With the Stars with Ryan Lochte.
