Scotty Lago Says Racy Pics Might Have Been a Set-Up (VIDEO)
Olympic snowboard halfpipe bronze medalist Scotty Lago created controversy when some racy photos surfaced online.
Lago apologized to Olympic Officials and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association but was asked to leave Vancouver after TMZ posted photos taken on a public street of a girl on her knees kissing Lago’s strategically placed medal.
Now Lago claims that the pics may have been a set-up.
The boarder got chatty with TMZ outside Jimmy Kimmel Live and said the girl in the photos also approached 14-time Olympic gold medal winner Michael Phelps and tried to engage the swimmer in a make-out session.
Lago said his pissed at being asked to leave before the closing ceremonies and that it’s lame that the U.S. Olympic Committee didn’t have his back.
Lago also says he loves the Canadian women and gives the camera a parting shot of his 8-pack abs.
