Everyone's warned to silence mobile phones at press conferences with medal winners. So where was that rap tune coming from at Ryan Lochte's news conference after he won gold in the men's 400 meter individual medley?

From Lochte's mobile.

The ringtone? "I have a lot of them," Lochte said. "Probably something from Lil Wayne."

Steve Futterman of CBS, whose question was interrupted, cracked, "If you win a gold, you get to leave your phone on."
