Do you have a reference for this? I'm aware of the inconsistencies with the stories in this situation, but I've never seen a brothel mentioned anywhere.

I believe he is talking about this. Still, no brothel mentioned. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/olympics/2016/08/18/...

He's conflating two separate events. It was the basketball players not the swimmers who "accidentally" visited a brothel: http://www.tmz.com/2016/08/05/team-usa-basketball-players-br...
