Well, guess what, FILA has to change their rules according to Abrahamians protest. So good to see that they indirectly say that he was right after all. You know they wanted to punish him for life for this?! And they only give a 2 year punishment for doping – very reasonable. So obvious they know they was the ones who made the error. And maybe you could take this away from “stupid celebrities” now? Thanks.

A harsher punishment for sure! He needs a spanking!! Where is his father while all this is going on. He didn’t teach him good manners or good sportsmanship as a kid, but it is not too late. Dad, PLEASE out him over your knee and spank him until he has learned his leasson. It is your duty….

People who write about the “bad loser” should watch the actual game. The judges penalized him AFTER the period was over, gave two different reasons (both were inaccurate) and refused to grant him video protest, altough the rules allow video protests. He obsiously reacted towards it. His actions on the podium were directed towards the wrestling federation, and hopefully the judges are penalized and the rulebook clarified after this.

Corrupt or not this IS the olympics people! He would have more of a foot to stand on if he accepted the medal like a man then confronted the unfair decision following the ceremony. Bad sportsmanship and sore losers SUCK!!

OIC is corrupt. It is time to stop OIC. Every one knows not one confronts. Very few have took action. They are doing the public feavor exposing behind the scenes kickbacks.

It was a protest against a corrupted sport. He was robbed in his semifinal due to a very strange decision from the judge. A lot of people involved in the sport think that it was a good symbolic thing to do: that someone dared to stand up against the corrupted machinery surrounding the wrestling community.

I’m not sure why Abrahamian didn’t receive a harsher punishment. After all, this IS the Olympics competition. His behavior is unacceptable, even if his performance should’ve received gold. There’s more to sportsmanship than just “sports”.
