Boot to the head!
Cuba’s Angel Valodia Matos has been banned for life from participating in the
Olympic Games after kicking match referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden in the head.
Chelbat had just disqualified Matos in a Tae Kwon Do bronze medal match.
Evidently, Matos is a student of Tae Kwon Leep. ;)
[edit: extra hardcore points awarded to Matos. Apparently he was disqualified for taking over one minute on a personal injury time out. His coach bandaged his left foot up, but his toe was clearly broken. Once he passed the minute mark, he was disqualified and in response he not only kicked the ref in the head but he did it WITH THE FOOT WITH THE BROKEN TOE.]
