OK, Ryan Lochte has definitely lost some (more) “sexy points” today...

While the Olympic swimmer has a penchant for one-night stands in his free time, his time spent in the pool isn’t just winning the gold—he also apparently feels perfectly alright peeing in the pool and admitting to it on live radio.

Ryan Seacrest interviewed Lochte today on his radio show and posed the question about Olympic swimmers peeing in the pool, an occurrence that—we would hope—is generally reserved for the underage crowd.

“Of course. I think there’s just something about getting into chlorine water that you just automatically go,” Lochte admitted. “[I didn’t] during the races, but I sure did in warm-up. Heh-heh.”

This, folks, is one of the main reasons—besides, apparently, pointless violence—to avoid public pools at all costs.

Also, according to Salon, “you only need 2 or 3 percent of people to ignore this [no peeing] rule” before the water is contaminated and “no ventilation system can save the air around it.”

With that wonderful thought, listen to the interview below, and try not to picture it for yourself:
