American Olympians Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger, and James Feigen - the three swimmers with Ryan Lochte on the night he said he was robbed at gunpoint - were all reportedly stopped as they attempted to leave Rio on Wednesday.  

NBC's Peter Alexander first reported that Bentz and Conger were pulled off their plane on Wednesday night. NBC also reported that Feigen was supposed to be on the same flight as Bentz and Conger, but that he never showed up at the airport even after checking in online.

According to NBC, Feigen's whereabouts are currently unknown.

Over the weekend, Lochte said he and three other swimmers were robbed at gunpoint in Rio. However, his story has since been refuted by Brazilian authorities, who have claimed no robbery took place. According to a report in the Daily Mail, security footage from the Olympic Village shows Lochte, Bentz, Conger, and Jimmy Feigen all re-entering the village with items they reported stolen, including their wallets.

On Wednesday, a Brazilian judge officially granted police the right to seize Lochte's passport as a result of the controversy. Lochte was already back in the United States at the time of the request, though the other three swimmers remained in Rio.

According to Alexander, neither Bentz nor Conger were named by the judge who wanted to seize Lochte's passport, though Feign was. The  statuses of the three swimmers are now all up in the air.
