Olympic Wrestler Banned for 2 years for Olympic Protest
Remember the story from the Olympics where the Switzerland wrestler Ara Abrahamian threw down his Bronze medal in protest after a dispute on a call made during his wrestling match? Well, it resulted in a 2 year ban from the sport.
Ara, if you even THINK about rolling around on a mat with another man for the next 2 years, it’s straight to Wrestling Hell for you where Andre the Giant is waiting to sit on you.
In his defense however, I don’t think the Olympic Committee understands the core of the issue. The Swiss are accustomed to medals being filled with tasty chocolate. When Ara took a bite of his Bronze medal and realized it was filled with low-quality flavor (the kind that has to have sugary cream filling to mask the taste), of course he threw it down in disgust.
When your country is known for it’s chocolate you will accept nothing less than the Gold medals. That’s where the Swiss chocolate goes. As for you Ara: Go eat a Toblerone and stop whining!
