Salud said he took into consideration Balkman’s past record as a player, which included a head-butting incident during a FIBA-Americas game between his Puerto Rico side and Venezuela”I also took into consideration Balkman’s evident disregard for local and the host country’s sensibilities highlighted by his choking act on-court in full public view of his own team mate who was trying to pacify him,” Salud said.

Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte already boasts endorsements deals with the likes of Gillette, Speedo, Ralph Lauren and Gatorade, and now his agent reveals that the US swimmer has received multiple TV offers, including one of the two reality shows – the ‘Bachelor.’

Amy Rosenblum, who runs Media Masters, believes that Lochte would be better suited as the next “Bachelor.” Rosenblum stated:
Ryan would make the perfect next ‘Bachelor’. He has the ‘it’ factor. Especially after his mother’s one-night-stand comment, everyone wants to know who is the real Ryan and what would it be like to date him. Forget dancing shows — this guy should be doing dating shows, for sure.
Former ‘Bachelorette’ winner Roberto Martinez turned down ABC’s offer to be the next “Bachelor” to pursue a special lady off-screen, so ABC is still looking for the perfect guy — which could be the hot swimmer Ryan.
Casting director Jimmy Floyd with Semisweet Productions agrees that Ryan Lochte would be a good “Bachelor,” He explained:
Ryan would make a great Bachelor.., He has it all: charm, looks and everyone in America already knows him.
