off the

, the Browns took that risk they felt when they got to that part of the first round that would be worth the pity, it turned out that was not the case in this list, we will look at the most notable cases in which

athletes

were involved in controversies in

their

daily lives, not while competing, damaging their reputation or legacy in the process we won. Let's not include people who use performance-enhancing drugs, since technically that's what surprised athletes the most off the

field

.

The off-field antics, let us know below at number 10. Ryan Lochte, while Michael Phelps was getting all the attention for his dominance. Ryan Lochte was right behind him forging his own legacy, but then the 2016 Summer Olympics happened in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Lochte along with three other members of the US swim team announced they had been robbed, police say the swimmers kicked down the door and then vandalized the inside bathroom. Those four swimmers continue down to their taxi and at this point they allegedly tore a poster off the wall before being confronted by security guards. However, inconsistencies soon emerged in his story, in the end it turned out that he had lied.

I got drunk and trashed a gas station bathroom. The first version of the story you told Ryan was much more about the mean streets of Rio, yes, and the version we're hearing now is much more about a negotiated deal to cover up some foolish behavior. and that is why I take full responsibility after they were faced with paying for the destruction. Lochte was banned from competing for 10 months and his sponsors dropped him, while the other athletes received a four-month suspension. This incident more of a doping scandal. In 2018, Lochte had to fight to return to his former glory.

I take full responsibility. I'm human. I made a mistake, a big mistake, and it's something I learned from and I know that will never happen again. Number Nine Greg Hardy Crackles Hogwarts Hardy was living the dream as a defensive end for the Carolina Panthers and was receiving praise from all sides of the NFL for his incredible work, but during the offseason in 2014, his rise to stardom was halted when he was charged of attacking his then girlfriend. convicted of assault, but the case was eventually thrown out on appeal because his former teammate largely kept quiet, needless to say people were far from happy that he was still in the league after this, just as I start to think that the Cowboys can't sink any lower they can't fall from grace anymore and they found another shovel and dug a few feet deeper after attempting a return to football with the Dallas Cowboys in 2015, the parties changed sports and began a career number eight in MMA Johnny Manziel I can't I heard he has too much money on my head.

You expect someone named Johnny Football to do great things in the NFL, but this athlete's personal life and excessive partying got in his way while he had a few run-ins with the police in his college days. The quarterback was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2014, but Manziel's excessive behavior off the field continued in 2015. He was arrested for a fight in the car with his teammate while he was drinking. The officers believed he was under the legal limit and nothing happened. incident, but subsequent dishonest behavior combined with a domestic violence charge led Cleveland to cut him in 2016.

Overshadowing Manziel's brief professional career, his off-field actions saw him spend 10 weeks in a drug and alcohol treatment center after his rookie season, although the case was dropped in 2017 after Manziel agreed to advise Manziel. Manziel hasn't played in an NFL game since, but at the end of the day he remains to be seen. I keep moving forward. I'm still doing what I had, the little meticulous things I have to do. do on a daily basis to try to keep this straight above anything else is what means the most to me number seven Aaron Hernandez when this day began Aaron Hernandez was a tight end for the New England Patriots tonight he is the accused in a murder case being an All-American when he was in Florida people had high expectations for Hernandez when he signed with the New England Patriots and he was on his way to being one of the best tight ends despite being caught in several illegal situations a over the years, but then, in 2013, Hernández.

He was arrested for taking the life of Odin Lloyd, prompting the Patriots to cut ties with him. Friends say the two men often hung out, some

times

even talking about football, but prosecutors say something went wrong and they changed their relationship from cordial to fatal in 2015. He received a life sentence. without parole, in 2017 Hernández was tried for the deaths of Daniel Day Abreu and Safiro Furtado in 2012, although he was considered innocent, but he died in prison a few days after taking his own life, a sad and surprising turn in a young man who was once promising. life gone horribly wrong number six Lamar Odom thanks him from the block board described him as a team player with a great attitude Odom was part of the dominant LA Lakers for part of the 2000s and became even more well-known after his marriage to Khloe Kardashian.

From this day on you are husband and wife, however, substance use affected the basketball star's career and it soon became impossible to ignore the pain. He disappeared in 2013, was arrested for driving under the influence, two years later things reached the boiling point and he was found in a coma. in Nevada with several illicit substances in his system that caused several heart attacks and strokes, among other things, authorities originally planned to transport him by air, but the county sheriff's office said Odom, who was six-foot-ten, was too high to be transported in a Helicon helicopter while he was a The long road to recovery from this near-death experience Odom regained his health, but admitted that his drug use prematurely cut short his basketball career.

Could you even imagine what had happened? No, I mean, I still can't. All my doctors. Sam will walk. In Miracle number five, Michael Vick, this Atlanta Falcons quarterback was making waves and seemed destined to have a legendary career in the NFL. It was as if Barry sent us back there as his quarterback, the most dynamic athletic quarterback who ever lived and who changed drastically in 2007. When a disturbing story emerged, it was discovered that one of his properties in Virginia had housed dog fighting, he and some others have been leading this network and participating in animal abuse since 2001.

The collective image was very bad, there were tremendous concerns on my part about the seriousness of the crime, the effect on the animals and the attitude of the people involved in this operation, a suspension from the NFL and a guilty plea, then began serving jail time first. I want to apologize, I don't know at all. The things that I have done and that I have allowed to happen, so I will redeem myself. I have to thank them when they released him. He started playing for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009, but his reputation never recovered from the horrible scandal number four.

Rice, after signing a hefty five-year contract and winning the Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens, life was pretty good for this running back, at least that's what it seemed on the surface in 2014, he and teammate Janae Palmer were visiting the New Jersey Rebel. Casino, the two had an intense dispute that culminated in him assaulting her, much of which was recorded. His pain is my pain. My pain is his pain. But one thing I wanted to do today was apologize to my wife. He knew this since high school, but since the athlete participated in a pretrial Intervention Program, the case was eventually dismissed.

Rice had already been penalized. He was already charged with assault when it happened, but he avoided jail time by initially agreeing to a deal in the NFL. suspended him for two games when he was later suspended indefinitely and released by his team the NFL star sued the Ravens for back pay early in the afternoon the Ravens had terminated Rice's contract the NFL suspended him indefinitely the question for many tonight is why it took so long The case was settled out of court in 2015 and Rice has not played professional football since I moved on. I never complained or did anything like that.

I took full responsibility for everything I did. Number three, Tanya Harding, was the first American woman to nail a triple axle in a professional ice skating competition, but Harding's career took a nosedive in 1994. Nancy Kerrigan, a competitor of hers, was violently beaten in the legs. knees and was injured. It was later revealed that Harding's ex, Jeff Galully, and his bodyguard Sean Eckert had masterminded the affair by getting two men to carry out their plan, but Harding, who maintained her innocence, was controversially added to the US team. USA for the 1994 Winter Olympics along with Kerrigan. Ella Harding later admitted to obstructing justice in addition to receiving probation time and a substantial fine, the US Figure Skating Association permanently banned her from playing her sport competitively.

I mean, she's moved on, I've moved on, she's part of history that will always be with us, but I'm also recognized as the only American woman. that made the first triple Axel number two Oscar Pistorius there was a time when Pistorius was among the most famous Paralympic sprinters around the disabled person running with able-bodied athletes on the biggest stage in the world incredible Oscar is really big in global terms all that changed after he attacked who he thought was a criminal in his home, the victim was actually his partner Riva Stancomp, he effectively admits that he shot an innocent person, which puts you in a difficult legal situation.

I have to believe that his best hope is a With a lesser charge rather than a completely innocent charge, the South African sprinter was set to spend five years in prison, as a result, the original conviction was overturned in favor of a more serious charge. The accusers punished themselves and will punish themselves for the rest. of his life far more than any court of law can punish him, although his prison sentence this time was a year longer. Prosecutors still didn't think that was enough and appealed once again. They were successful in 2017, as Pastorius' sentence was more than doubled. 13 years and five months, but the stories now have the minimum sentence for murder before continuing.
