LooneyToonArmy Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 most videos `deleted` from youtube but there`s one knocking about......for those that haven`t seen http://home.theundergroundcity.com/kickapps/_Cuban-taekwondo-athlete-kicks-ref/video/304351/22344.html ^^^^^^^^^^^ Disputing the Swedish referee’s decision during the bronze medal Tae Kwon Do match, Cuban Ángel Matos kicked the ref in the face resulting in a lifetime ban for Matos and his unapologetic coach. Matos was winning, 3-2, in the second round, when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan’s Arman Chilmanov. He remained there, 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 the referee, Chakir Chelbat of Sweden. Matos then spat on the floor and was escorted out. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3056/2791042840_bd4123a23b.jpg?v=0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Tbh ref should have stopped fight soon as he needed treatment. Imgine that in a real fight give me 60 seconds to fix my foot. Even if he got up and won or lost i would have still been annoyed at the result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Ironically he kicked him with foot with the busted toe on it that caused the delay in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I love the Olympic spirt. Deserved a kicking on behalf of the judges who blatantly cheated earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The other guy is ridiculous though, running about and celebrating when you win by disqualification via stubbed toe. Should be ashamed of himless tbh. Will be interesting to see what happens to the Cuban guy, I assume he could be facing a Chinese prison... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
