In a tweet that was on his account for more than 24 hours -- but has since been deleted -- Henderson tweeted, "That was fun. First time I've gotten horny covering the Olympics. Thank you!"
Henderson, who has 490 followers, sent the tweet while writing about teenage swimmers, Deadspin reports.
On Monday, Henderson attempted to clear the air in an interview with Denver weekly Westword.
"I was having an innocent direct Twitter conversation with a reader before the Opening Ceremonies, and she just said a couple things that got me excited," Henderson told Westword. "Somehow, someway, I sent a response to my general Twitter account and not to her directly."
