Hrm. How about the boxer that bit his opponent? The biased judging in the gymnastics? Yeah, this guy lost it over a VERY questionable decision, but this Olympics has had some of the worst judging in several sports that I've seen in a very long time.
Also, you fail to mention that within minutes after this incident, he was suspended from competing in WTF (The TKD governing agency for the Olympic style) for life. Done and gone.

...all records of this athlete at the Beijing Games will immediately be erased...
Google news article
Maybe they should seek advice from the people assigned to erase the age records of Chinese gymansts?
I didn't read the caption at first, and thought how great of an action shot it was. And then wondered why one guy was wearing a tie instead of pads.

judging events shouldn't be in the Olympics. there's always a problem with bias. it's not measurable.

When the timer goes down to 0 he and his team is still sitting on the mat. Not much to judge there.
