?Raptor? de Vanderlei de Lima condenado a um ano de pena suspensab>

O atleta brasileiro Vanderlei de Lima foi ontem retirado da pista durante a prova da maratona dos Jogos Ol?mpicos por um antigo padre irland?s, Cornelius Horan, j? hoje condenado em Atenas a um ano de pris?o com pena suspensa e a uma multa no valor de 3.000 euros.

Lima terminou a prova em terceiro lugar, tendo conquistado a medalha de bronze, o que leva o Comit? Ol?mpico Brasileiro a pretender que a Federa??o Internacional de Atletismo entregue a medalha de ouro a Vanderlei de Lima, indo para isso interpor um processo no Tribunal Arbitral de Desporto.

Basicly, they fined him for 3000 euros and he was sentenced with one year of suspended penalty.

If he ****s up again, he goes directly to jail.

The Brazilian Olympic Comitee is going to make them give the gold medal to Vanderlei.
:no:

They're not going to make them. They're just protesting for a possible double gold. They're not taking the Italian's away... that'd just be wrong. He's not the one lobbying for it, either, FYI.

IMO, this guy should go directly to jail anyways.

Slap on the wrist. Dude is going to do it again. He sees he can get away with it and will continue. That is what happened after he ran on that racetrack a while back. They did virtually nothing (according to the story I saw on the news) so he took it a step further the next time he did it, emboldened by the fact that he got no real punishment. Legal system is too light in cases of intentional acts like this.

i live in Brazil, and this is such a shame, we are very ****ed off with this attitude.

i think the right thing to do is give the brazilian the gold medal cos, even with all this mess he got the bronze medal, he is a winner!

and, its even more a shame that maybe Brazilian Governor dont do a thing about this!

where were the security guys?

Very good question indeed. Same with the guy who jumped in the pool. Why weren't these guys shot by snipers or something? They could have done major harm to people like that Tennis fan did when they stabbed Seles. I have no sympathy for nuts like this. They should have been taken down and the security should have seen them.

Although I would love to see him awarded a duplicate medal, I don't exactly think it'd be fair, unfortunately... really sucks for him, though. Much respect to him.
