Paris Olympics: 'The referee killed me' - Bazadze
Fencing
Sandro Bazadze said the referees at the Olympics had "killed him for a second time" after the Georgian world number one lost in the last 16 of the men's sabre.
Bazadze, who turns 31 on Monday, refused to leave the piste, and bellowed at Spanish match referee Vanesa Chichon after she referred to the video and adjudged that Egyptian Mohamed Amer had got the touch giving him a 15-14 win.
The two-time European champion went on shouting at her as she walked away, but she ignored him and exited the arena.
"For the second time as in Tokyo the referees kill me," a distraught Bazadze said.
"In Tokyo they destroyed my life, almost finished my career.
"But I came back and became first in the world and prepare for the Olympic Games but she kills me."
