Boom! HEADSHOT!!!!!
BEIJING — A Cuban tae kwon do athlete committed one of the biggest breaches of sportsmanship at an Olympics, kicking a referee in the face in anger after he was disqualified from his match Saturday.

Dont know what I like more about this story, the near perfect pic of the headshot, or the World Tae Kwon Do Federation is called W.T.F

ouch
I'd kick a dirty ref. in the face any Freakin day! An athlete who trains for the olympic games puts a sh*tload of time and effort,. DQ'ing him and taking possibly a medal from him for not getting medical assistant on time??!!!
I SAY DOUBLE DROP KICK TO THE FACE! if not the REf, Someone should.

The kicker was disqualified for taking too much time on an injury time out. Ref disqualified him after 1 min for not getting up to fight in the match again. I don't blame the kicker for doing that. Crappy rule!

Sigh, don't get me started about stupid W.T.F.-style Taekwondo is. 
I really REALLY hope the IOC drops this so-called "sport" for good: stupid rules, stupid judging, stupid scoring, allegations of no-complaint contracts between the WTF and Olympians, chest-bump "clinching" -- Gahd, I hate WTF.
On another note, that was a pretty crappy kick; it didn't even knock the ref down. I'm serious, if you kick someone in the head and he doesn't even stagger, that's a crappy kick.
