"The World Taekwondo Federation has recommend he be banned for life."
Wake up, TMZ. He already has been banned for life. His coach was banned also.
âThis is a strong violation of the spirit of tae kwon do and the Olympic Games,â the World Taekwondo Federation said in a release. It added that there would be a lifetime ban of González and Matos in all championships sanctioned by the organization and that all Matosâs records at the Beijing Games would be erased."

I think the guy should face some time in a Chinese prison too. Assault comes to mind as a possible charge.
that is not good enough, the little bastard should be arrested and jailed, he should also be sued for assault by the Ref
HE SHOULD ALSO BE BANNED FROM COMING TO THE UNITED STATES. WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER CUBAN GANGSTER
Hope it was worth it.. Now he cant compete in the sport hes trained for.... He has a stigma attached to his name that will follow him which will keep people from training with him. And the best part he has to go back to Communist Cuba the country that has supported his training given him all kinds of perks for being their shining child of communist strength and now he embarrased them on the world stage.... Bet he will be floating on a intertube in a few months trying to get to the US after the Commies get done with him
the ref made a poor call which was not necessary. The guy had broke his toe and needed to get it fixed before he could continue. The ref crushed this mans dream and so I feel he got his comeuppance. People should think about all the details before they make judgment. If someone ruined my dream, like what happened here, a kick to the face is nothing but a slap on the wrist.
