Ryan Lochte is apologizing ( and suggesting he's traumatized ) after the recent unpleasantness in Rio. Looks like the ordeal created at least one business opportunity, for whoever sold photos of the gas station where it all went down to TMZ.

"Although cops talked about a mirror that was broken in the bathroom, we saw no evidence of this and someone who works there said the sign was the only thing damaged," TMZ reported.
