Egypt suspends kung fu gold medallist over pro-Islamist shirt


October 28: Egypt has suspended a kung fu champion who acknowledged his gold decoration at an universal competition wearing a T-shirt supporting his nation's harried Islamist development, a games official said. Mohamed Youssef won a gold decoration in the 90 kilogram Wushu classification in the World Combat Games held this month in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He wore a T-shirt decorated with a dark hand giving a four finger salute, the indication of the Islamist Rabaa al-Adawiya challenge camp that police brutally scattered in August. Youssef showed "unsuitable conduct and a particular botch," Gamal al-Gazzar, agent for the Egyptian Wushu Kung Fu Federation told Afp. "The player has been authoritatively suspended until he is explored," Gazzar said. Youssef beat Iranian Arman Baziari in the last on Saturday. Many Islamist supporters of expelled president Mohamed Morsi were slaughtered when police got serious about their dissent camps in Cairo on August 14. No less than 2,000 Islamists have been captured from that point forward. Morsi, chose in June 2012, controlled for a prior year the military ousted him taking after enormous challenges requesting his renunciation.
