Olympic athlete suspended over Christian gesture

Serbian judoka Nemanja Majdov has been banned for five months for crossing himself before a bout at the Paris Games

“Satanic trash. Their judging is poisoned… Disqualify me in two minutes and don’t give me a chance to show anything at all… These values of yours, sports and Olympics are just trash,” Majdov wrote in a since-deleted series of posts on Instagram. “Judo is a lost sport. 100% of the outcome of the fight is controlled by the referees. Those who bend over and bow to them get ahead. You will never get that from me. I don’t need such a medal.”
