Should the athlete who kicked that judge be banned from Taekwondo?

Question

If he is banned for life by the WTF does that just mean he cannot award belts, train other athletes for the Olympics, practice the sport, and compete?

What exactly does a ban for life from Taekwondo by the WTF mean and entail??

Oh, and if he is banned by the WTF for life as he should be, can he theoretically just switch to ITF???

Answer 1

If you are part of an organization such as the WTF or ITF it means they recognize you, your belts and accomplishments. People pay a small fee. This means they will no longer accept him into their organization. his ranks and such are no longer  being recognized world wide and he will have to go to another one. Back when I did Tae Kwon Do the WTF and the ITF were two separate TKD orgs. but worked together so I do not know if he can switch.

Answer 2

He probably can still train and get ranks because of the fact that WTF is not one of the organization that awards belt ranks. ITF and Kukkiwon are. Kukkiwon is affiliated with WTF, it is actually the only organization that is.

Answer 3

He ought to be banned FROM LIFE  for being a jerk, i have been upset at an umpire or referees decision, but i never assaulted him.  

Answer 4

HE SHOULD BE BANNED AND NEVER TO RETURN AGAIN! Unless he goes through some anger management training or something. But it people like him that make fun things awful and that's what we want to avoid. To ban him for life would imply that he could no longer perform in the olympics EVER. I think that's harsh but what happens the next time he decides to kick someone?  

Answer 5
