‘Being drunk at the White House Has been a Tradition as Long as He’s Been Competing’

Sex, drugs, and meeting the President while still drunk. What more could an Olympian ask for?

The female Olympian says her experience at the White House in 2010 was similar.

“It scared the crap out of me,” she says. “I woke up with this guy — I drank so much, I had no recollection of what happened. And I’m going to meet the president, and I’m still drunk. Vice President Biden — I think he was smelling my breath. He was so close, I could’ve licked his nose without moving. I know I reeked of liquor. I was mortified, but they were all smiling.”

All morning, she says, the entire US Olympic team was struggling. “We were texting each other about how much agony we were in,” she says. “It was hilarious.”

Being drunk at the White House, Lodwick says, has been a tradition as long as he’s been competing — and, as with every other event, it’s something that the athletes gear up for.
