Via ESPN:
Ryan Lochte has been sidelined after an encounter with an enthusiastic fan.
The five-time Olympic champion tore his MCL and sprained the ACL in his left knee, according to USA Today, last weekend during a visit to Gainesville, Fla.
A teenage girl ran at Lochte, who tried to catch her, but the two fell over in the process, his publicist said. Lochte hit his knee on a curb, while the girl was not hurt Sunday.
Publicist Janice Lee says in a statement issued Tuesday that Lochte’s medical team expects him “to make a full and speedy recovery.”
