A disgrace. I wonder how the bosses back home will take it.

Gonzalez also alleged the match was fixed and accused the Kazakhstanis of offering him money. Projecting?

A lifetime ban! That means he won’t be able to compete until the 2012 Olympics.

The Castro brothers have far more interest in sports than they do in the welfare of their people.
Angel Matos is going to be in a deep well of sh*t when he goes home.

All he needs is a Cuban passport with a new name and he can compete. Just ask the Chinese gymnasts.

I don’t care what people say... that picture is awesome!!

Angel Matos now can look forward to a life of harvesting sugar cane on the Castro brother's little island of "fun."
Matos might as well off himself to ease the pain.

I do not have a crystal ball, but I do not think the Cuban Government is going to throw Angel under the bus. On the contrary, they are probably good and mad and united behind him. National pride you know. He was bribed whether it is true or not. I tend to believe he was. These folks have become as crooked as the UN.

The Olympics foster good sportsmanship and understanding.

The good news is that since it was Tae Kwon Do, the kick didn’t hurt or do any damage.

After angrily questioning the decision, the Cuban pushed a judge,
then pushed and kicked referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden.
Matos then spat on the floor before being escorted out.
Sounds like two charges of assault and battery, maybe even a
charge of intent to maim.
This does raise questions "above my paygrade".
Maybe some Freeper lawyer could comment: what legal system governs
an athlete at an international sporting event: the perp's home
country, the host country, or none at all as the athletes
might be considered "ambassadors" with legal immunity.
I have NO idea of how this would be resolved in a legal sense.
"He was too strict," Gonzalez said of the decision to disqualify Matos.
LOL!
Reminds me of the jerk that crashed his pickup truck into the
rear bumper of my co-worker's beloved Mustang...causing the
Mustang to be totalled (fortunately my co-worker escaped with
some modest abrasions).
The jerk's defense as stated to my co-worker:
"You were going too slow."
(as if that's a proper reason to ram a truck into a car going
45 in a 45 speed zone!)

"After angrily questioning the decision, the Cuban pushed a judge, then pushed and kicked referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden." Hmmm Neutral Judge got Kicked. Irony?

I’d like to think my counter to that kick would have left the guy’s voice a couple of octaves higher.

We may be seeing Mr. Angel Matos making his move to defect to the U.S. on his way home to Cuba.
Better than cutting sugar cane forever.
