BEIJING — A Cuban taekwondo athlete and his coach were banned for life after Angel Matos kicked the referee in the face following his bronze-medal match disqualification.
Cuban coach Leudis Gonzalez offered no apology for Matos' actions during the men's over-80 kg match.
Matos was winning 3-2, with 1:02 in the second round, when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov. He was sitting awaiting medical attention when he was disqualified for taking too much injury time. Fighters get one minute, and Matos was disqualified when his time ran out.
Matos angrily questioned the call, pushed a judge, then pushed and kicked referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden. Matos then spat on the floor and was escorted out.
"He was too strict," Gonzalez said, referring to the decision to disqualify Matos. Afterward, he charged the match was fixed, accusing the Kazakhs of offering him money.

He should be arrested and charged with assault.

But it's Cuba--and we all know how much the IOC, UN, etc., love socialist assholes.

He should be arrested and charged with assault.
He may end up in the next group of people trying to float from Cuba to Florida.

Seems there were no end of questionable calls in the tournament, but you don't tag the ref for a bad call.

I suspect the report will be that he drowned while trying to flee Cuba.

What a moron! Someone is a sore loser.

Actually, that really wasn't a judgment call. He had, IIRC, a minute to get checked out and get back on his feet. He was still down when the time expired. He was DQ'd. Pretty cut and dry to me.
The PROBLEMS I saw with the Olympics were the events that were judged events. Boxing was REALLY f'ed up.

That had to hurt. Stupid ass had no right to hit the ref.

The judged events have ALWAYS been "f'ed up".
