I read he needed stitches. Poor guy.

The issue was that one minute is the international standard for the sport AND he was warned 40 seconds into it; he could have stood up and requested another minute, but didn’t, AND then he was apparently not injured enough not to be able to kick the judge in the face.

Being a black belt and presumably having tournament experience, there’s no way he or his trainer didn’t know what was happening.

Not the Olympics, but the sport itself, for life, effective as of the very same day this whole thing happened.

There’s a push right now to have both the athlete and his trainer permanently banned from the Olympics.

If you already have an injured foot, don’t kick someone in the face! Well, you shouldn’t kick someone in the face anyway of course . . .

What an ass. Now he’s banned from the sport for life. So is his coach. Hope it was worth it, but I doubt it.

Fidel actually arose from his slumber to defend this guy’s actions…blaming it on racism, elitism, eurocentriscism….really, to many “-ism” to list. Pathetic.

This only goes to show… if you’re a judge of a certain sport, you need to have some mad skillz, too!

Technically, that was him kicking the referee. Though he did kick a judge too when they all swarmed in to try to stop him. Judges are in blue coats. Four, one in each corner and a wall of judges sitting off to the side to review playback tapes if need be.

And for the record, his ‘injury’ was him hurting the top of his already sprained foot and he took it like a baby. He was pretty damn cranky during his match against the Korean fighter before this match too. Someone must have pissed in his cornflakes.

He should have really wailed on the guy. Cracking his lip open with a kick was not enough.

Yah, he got mad because he was disqualified by taking too long to recover from an injury. Apparently he was given sufficient warning of how much time he had left to continue the fight but neither he nor his trainer understood, so they violated the rules and he was disqualified. So, it started this huge argument and he just got mad enough to kick the judge in the face. How honorable.
