RYAN LOCHTE CAUSES CONTROVERSY AT LONDON OLYMPICS

Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte earned Team USA's first gold medal at Saturday's men's individual 400 meter individual medley, but he's got some other bling that he's just as proud of: His American flag-themed grill.  However, Lochte's jewel encrusted stars-and-stripes accessory -- worn across his top row of teeth -- nearly cost him his medal, it was reported Saturday. ESPN's Wayne Drehs tweeted that the 27-year-old swim phenom was told that he wouldn't receive his gold if he wore the bling on the winners' podium.
