Cuban pops ref...

This Cuban loser got pissed at the ref in the semifinals of Olympic taekwondo and showed how he felt.

The incident involving 31-year-old Cuban fighter Angel Valodia Matos occurred following his loss in a 176-pound semifinal to Cha Dongmin of South Korea.

The referee, identified on the match report as Klay Thomas of Switzerland, declared the South Korean the winner after Matos did not come out to fight after a 60-second injury timeout. There is a 60-second limit on injury time.

Thomas signaled Cha as the winner. Then came the kick from Matos, Olympic champion in 2000. In addition to seeking a lifetime ban of the fighter from Cuba, the Seoul-based World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) said it may press legal charges.

As funny as it is - and as much as I love to watch it - he should know better and deserves to get banned/have legal charges against him.

You're an Olympic contender(WERE) - act like one.

Still funny as hell though.
