Photo and caption taken from the AP: Cuba's Angel Valodia Matos, left, kicks match referee Sweden's Chakir Chelbat in the face during a bronze medal match against Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov in the men's taekwondo +80 kilogram class at the Beijing 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Saturday, Aug. 23, 2008. Matos attacked the official, throwing punches and kicks, after being declared the loser in his bronze medal match.
Mr. Matos and his coach, both unrepentant, were banned for life from the sport. Well at least you'll always have the infamy.

Chakir Chelbat? From Sweden?
Banned for life? That's assault, isn't it?
You have to admit, though, excellent form.
