Angel Matos of Cuba kicked a referee in the face yesterday after he had been disqualified from a bronze medal Taekwondo match. Obviously not happy with the ruling, he said he thought that the match was rigged and that his opponent had bribed the judge.
Angel and his coach have been banned for life from competing in all championships sanctioned by the World Taekwondo Federation and all information and record of this athlete will be erased. Tough break tough guy!
