There seems to be some lack of professionalism by two of the Cuban athletes at the Olympics today.

The Cuban taekwondo heavy weight got disqualified after taking too long to come back onto the mat after injury. He reacted by kicking the referee and attacking one of the judges.

In the middle weight boxing, the Cuban bit DeGale, the British boxer on the shoulder during the fight. DeGale went on to win the gold.

    Certainly well out of order, but what a way to go. I presume they were the same Taekwondo judges who screwed up the judging in Sarah Stevenson's match.
