Has the Cuban Taekwondo (bronze medal fight) been banned for life?

He kicked referee due to coach stuffing up in injury time .Can he be charged with assault?


WTF,they wanted this q) in transgender section of society/culture,lmfao.|||He should be charged with assault and go to jail. That is a crime, that%26#039;s not sportsmanship. I think the ban is not official, yet, but it has to become official. This is shameful for the Olympics, any conducts like this, by any person, must be severely punished. |||Yes, he%26#039;s banned for life but since this was his 3rd(?) Olympic appearance, it%26#039;s doubtful he would have been back to compete again. But with the ban, he%26#039;s excluded from participating as a coach, torch bearer or part of any future ceremonies.





He can be charged with breaking whatever law of the host country that he breaks, assuming they choose to pursue it. I doubt that Olympic athletes are granted diplomatic immunity.|||He was banned for life by the Taekwondo Fed but then they realised they didn%26#039;t do it in the legally correct way. Also there are questions over who has that authority. It may be the IOC. So while the outcome appears obvious, it may take a month or two for the ban to be formalised.





Just tricky legal stuff. He won%26#039;t compete again.|||No, the TaeKwonDo federation did initially but it realized it had to talk with the IOC. I bet he will be banned. That was a bad time for a brain explosion.|||yes he was banned for life





it was a pretty cool video though|||Yes both him and his coach have been banned from life and may be facing further investigation from the Chinese police and the IOC|||I think he is banned , But classic moment , Hate the referee


who call that shot ! |||Yeah, too bad. There are several other officials that he needed to kick, starting with Rogge.|||yes
