As hinted by several sources late last week, it is now confirmed that the 2nd most decorated Olympic swimmer of all-time, American Ryan Lochte, will indeed be joining the cast of ‘Dancing With The Stars’.

The reality TV show, which is entering its 23rd season, is revealing its cast members one-by-one this morning on ABC’s ‘Good Morning America’. 31-year-old Lochte was the first celebrity to be named as a star set to tackle dance moves in front of millions of eager TV viewers beginning mid-September.

“I just want to move forward. I want the whole world to move forward,” Lochte said this morning live, referring to putting the Rio drunken gas station incident behind him. He’s referring to the debacle occurring with teammates Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen in Rio, which resulted in the Brazilian police getting involved and Feigen paying approximately $11,000 to return to the U.S. All Americans are home safely and have since issued their own apologetic accounts of the situation.

Since the incident, Lochte has lost four major sponsors, including Speedo, with whom the former Gator has had a business relationship for the better part of a decade.

Now, however, Lochte said he is ready to look ahead, beginning with putting on his dancing shoes. “I’m human. I made a mistake. And that’s something I’m going to have to live with.”

Look for Lochte to be paired with a professional dancer to take on the rest of the to-be-named celebrity contestants beginning September 12th on ABC.
