Five instances when passion and emotions got the better of Olympians!

Fred Lorz cheated his way to victory in the 1904 Games

#2 Byun Jong-II (1988 Seoul Games)

Byun Jong-II
Byun Jong-II stayed in the ring for 67 minutes after his bout.

If you thought Zidane’s head-butt was the only head-butt in the history of major sporting events you are wrong. Meet Byun Jong-II, a South Korean boxer who head-butted his Bulgarian opponent in one of the bantamweight division matches.

If the head-butt wasn’t an over reaction then his reaction afterwards was certainly so. Byun Jong-II remained in the ring after the match, as a sign of protest, and the officials waited for an hour and decided to turn off the light leaving him alone in the darkness.
