RIO DE JANEIRO -- Australian swimmer Josh Palmer has visited Rio police who are investigating his claims he was threatened with a gun and robbed in Copacabana.While Palmer did not report the alleged theft to police, they called on him to give a full statement.Palmer went on an all-night bender in Copacabana on Tuesday night, and was disoriented and missing his phone when a stranger came to his aid at 2pm on Wednesday.He said an armed man had forced him to withdraw $1000 from an ATM but he refused to take the matter to police, contrary to the advice of the Australian Olympic Committee.However, the matter came to the attention of Brazilian authorities anyway and they are now investigating.Palmer went to a Rio police station with team security chief Greg Nance on Saturday afternoon.Weve spoken to Josh this morning and he is getting his notes together and he will be making a statement to police today, Australias team boss Kitty Chiller said earlier on Saturday.Its not an investigation into Josh obviously. Its his relaying his version of events, the statement of events, that happened to him the other day.So as far as were concerned, thats just him making a statement to police.Earlier this week, U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte said he had been robbed at gunpoint by men with police badges.However, it has since emerged he and three other U.S. swimmers vandalised a petrol station after a night of partying and were confronted by armed security guards.A judge ordered their passports be held while the matter was investigated.Lochte had already returned to the U.S. but Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were hauled off their flight home.When asked if Palmer would be able to fly home with the team on Monday night if the investigation were ongoing, Chiller said she hoped so.She said they would do everything in their power to protect Palmer and support him logistically, operationally and emotionally.Custom Atlanta Braves Jerseys .

Earlier, Andrej Kramaric had canceled out Eric Maxim Choupo-Motings goal in the fourth.Deep into stoppage time, the ball hit the arm of Hoffenheims Kerem Demirbay, but calls for a penalty were ignored.It was clearly a hand ball, said Hoffenheim coach Julian Nagelsmann.But Schalke players refused to blame the referee for the loss.It wasnt the referee, we lost it today, captain Benedikt Hoewedes said.
