Cuba's Angel Matos deliberately kicked a referee square in the face after he was disqualified in a bronze-medal match, prompting the World Taekwondo Federation to recommend Matos be banned for life.
"We didn't expect anything like what you have witnessed to occur," said WTF secretary general Yang Jin-suk. "I am at a loss for words."
Obviously, he picked up some of his "skills" from his coach.
Matos' coach was unapologetic.
"He was too strict," Leudis Gonzalez said, referring to the decision to disqualify Matos. Afterward, he charged the match was fixed, accusing the Kazakhs of offering him money.
Matos went down after being hit by his opponent. In kick boxing, you must get up within a minute or you will be disqualified. Matos did not get up in time. Although, he did get up in time to kick the ref in the face.

All I can say is, poor Ara Abrahamian... he can't even win the gold medal for being the biggest jack@$$ at these Games. He'll have to settle for the silver, which he'd probably just throw away anyway.
