Olympic star Ryan Lochte is getting back into the endorsement game. Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops has agreed to a deal with the 12-time medalist.
Lochte will appear in print ads and a television commercial for Pine Bros. They will make light of the controversy recently surrounding the swimmer by tieing his story into the company tagline, "Forgiving On Your Throat".
It looks like the perfect opportunity for both parties. Certainly in the aftermath of the Olympics, Pine Bros. has already gained a significant amount of publicity just with the announcement.
Lochte added to his medal tally in Rio with a gold as a member of the U.S. 4x200 meter freestyle relay team. He also ran the 200m individual medley for the fourth time at the Olympics.
Lochte's 12 Olympic medals rank second among swimmers all-time. Six of his medals are gold and seven have been won as an individual.
In addition, Lochte boasts an almost unthinkable 18 gold medals from the World Championships. He originally qualified for the Olympics in 2004 while still an active swimmer at the University of Florida.
