Five-time gold medalist , Ryan Lochte, was literally swept off his feet, after a run in with an excited teenage fan. As a result, he has been forced to stop training after suffering a serious knee injury, courtesy of an overzealous female fan, who literally ran over the Olympic gold medalist, causing him to lose his balance.
