This just proves how fucking dumb racists are. If that dipshit kept his mouth shut he could have sabotaged her a few more times before someone figured it out.
I would assume that being a massive turd that he would want to keep doing it as long as he can.
On the flip side I'm glad he was so dumb because now hes been banned and he won't have another chance.

There's always another racist

So he’s going to get a ban from all international powerlifting events in the future (after they confirm that he actually wrote the YouTube comment), right?

I read the article and somehow missed that, thanks.

Why can a lift be ruined by a spotter that is not from your team. That is a massive flaw in the system.

Feel like the racist guy shouldn't just be walking around and sleeping peacefully at night.

So she gets to set up for another attempt, right?

That was before the admission by the racist and the ensuing banning, etc.

Yeah but they can't just reconvene another world championship next week because someone lost unfairly the first time.
I mean, it's absolutely unfair, but life is often unfair.
