so whats the joke.
they have a 1 minute injury time limit.
he took too long and got disqualified as per the rules.
he was not ready until after the clock ticked over.
he also deserves every bit of the life time ban he got too.

But it was god damn funny

im well aware he kicked him in the head.
considering this happened yesterday as well.
like i said, the kick is the sole reason he is banned for life, not only from the Olympics but from the sport itself - world wide.

i originally thought you found it a joke that he lost the match for taking a split second too long.
maybe you should be more clear on what you are trying to say.

Absolute idiot. Glad he's not welcome back to the professional circuit.

Would of loved to have seen the umpire give him a Brad Pitt style duck, then a sweet left hook, eg.'SNATCH' style.

I was watching this when it happened and was absoultely gobsmacked (pardon the pun) the guy is an absolute and utter fool, the ban imposed on him is great and the wording of "all record of him being at the olympics has been erased" is perfect. He has discgraced himself as well as Cuba. Oh by the way it also looks as if the ref was gearing up to wack him back, Myaggi Style before the 4 officials stepped in. I wish he had of.

I saw it when it happened too and I just couldn't beleive it! That guy is an absolute Moron. Apparantly he was Fidel Castros protege. I wouldn't like to be in his shoes now. I reckon Fidel will have him shot!

Ohh, and by the way Davway, I "got the joke" the first time as well. Seek clarification before you assume, just because you didn't get it doesn't mean anyone else won't either!

The way he said it came across as a bit rehtorical when you consider the rest of his post outlined why such a decision should not be looked apon as a joke.

Just saw the video. It was an impressive kick though, barely half a second before the match was awarded against him and wham!

Surely it's on youtube for those who havnt seen it? I can't be bothered searching for it as I've seen it 3 times already so I have no real desire to see it again.
