Matos facing Lifetime Ban after kicking referee

BEIJING -- 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 that he 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."

Yang also recommended Matos' coach be banned.

Matos was winning 3-2, with 1:02 left in the second round, when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov. Matos was sitting there, awaiting medical attention, when he was disqualified for taking too much injury time. Fighters get one minute, and Matos was disqualified when his time ran out.

Haha 2 things on my mind that I wanna say
1. DAMN... LOL the Ref looks like a beaver in that picture.

2. In my opinion it's not Mato's fault waiting for the medical attention. This is just what i'm saying but, seems to me that the fault mainly goes towards medical attentive squad. It's suppose to be their task to get the fighters their immediate medical attention. If they weren't fast enough it should not have been the fighter's fault what-so-ever.

I could be wrong but this is just what i'm thinking bout in my head.
