Klete Keller, who lives in Colorado, appeared during a brief hearing in Denver federal court following his arrest on charges brought by prosecutors in Washington. At the insistence of prosecutors, Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty said Keller could not travel to Washington before Jan. 21. Keller was charged Wednesday in federal court in Washington after a video emerged that appeared to show him among those storming the Capitol last week. SwimSwam said at least a dozen people within the sport have identified the man as Keller after reviewing the video and screenshots.

Messages seeking comment were not returned by Keller or his sister, former Olympic swimmer Kalyn Keller. “They do not represent the values of the United States of America or of Team USA." In interviews with the Olympic Channel podcast and USA Swimming, he admitted to being a poor employee and feeling entitled because of his athletic success.
