Rio 2016: First the Olympic pool... now Ryan Lochte's HAIR turns green
OLYMPIC swimmer Ryan Lochte’s gold medal win has been overshadowed – by his ever-changing hair colour.
Ryan Lochte's hair has been the talk of Rio 2016
The American bleached his usually brunette locks a silvery hue ahead of Rio 2016.
But after his winning performance in the 4x200m freestyle relay, fans pointed out that his hair had changed colour again – this time to green.
The change was apparent as Lochte took to the gold podium with teammates Michael Phelps, Conor Dwyer and Townley Haas.
Fans pointed out that his new look was likely down to chlorine in the Olympic pool, which is known for ruining bleached hair.

Clint Culpepper tweeted: “Is Ryan Lochte auditioning for the next Joker?”
While Caitlin Kelly posted a picture of the infamous Phelps “death stare” with the caption “when you see Ryan Lochte’s hair for the first time.”
But the 31-year-old wasn’t fazed by the ribbing and proudly posted a photo of himself with his teammates and their medals.

“Four Olympics straight we’ve won this relay,” he wrote. “So humbled to be a part of this moment!”
Lochte’s hair isn’t the only thing in Rio that’s taken on a green tinge.

Two of the Olympic pools have turned a shade of emerald, with officials unable to explain or correct the problem.
The water is so dark that Team GB divers Tonia Couch and Lois Toulson couldn’t see each other underwater as they competed in the 10m synchronised platform.
