Since it was revealed that Lochte fabricated some of his Rio robbery story, the Olympian has lost several sponsorships, including Speedo, which announced earlier this week on its Twitter account the brand was donating a $50,000 “portion of Lochte’s fee to Save The Children.”
On Tuesday’s “Good Morning America,” eight of the pros returning for the new season of “Dancing” were revealed. They are: Val Chmerkovskiy, Sharna Burgess, Witney Carson, Artem Chigvintsev, Lindsay Arnold, Sasha Farber, Gleb Savchenko and Allison Holker.
