More on "The Lago" incident

Lago offered up an apology after the above photo of him became public. He agreed to leave the Olympic Village , but sources close to Lago tell a different story, he received an ultimatum from the U.S. Olympic Committee: either say you're sorry and go ... or get ejected from the Olympic Village.

As for when we might hear from Lago himself ... it appears he's in a "blackout period" -- meaning he can't talk about the incident at all until March 3.
