Does every manifold admit a Lagrangian metric?

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold. The $LC$ connection associated to the metric gives an $n$ dimensional distribution $D$ for $TM$. Let $\omega$ be the symplectic structure of $TM$ which is obtained by pulling back of the standard structure of the cotangent bundle via the isomorphism between the tangent and cotangent bundle.

We say a Riemannian metric is a Lagrangian metric if the distribution $D$ of $TM$ is a Lagrangian distribution.
