The Cuban Taekwondo star (olympic gold in Sydney) Angel Matos lost his bronze match after expiry of Kye-shi time (time you can take to look into an injury etc). After the referees had decided that Matos would lose the fight, he got insane and started pushing a couple of referees.
Things got so far that he kicked a Swedish referee in the face, making the ref in need of medical assistance.
It was decided today that Angel Matos, together with his coach, are to be handed a life-time ban on participating in any Taekwondo competitions.
