Egypt Kung Fu gold medalist suspended for wearing Rabaa sign
Published in Ahram Online on 28 - 10 - 2013

Kung Fu player Mohamed Youssef is to be deported and banned from his next world participation for sending a clear message of support to pro-Morsi Islamists while receiving gold medal in Russia
For sending a political message by wearing a T-shirt publicising the pro-Morsi four-finger Rabaa sign while receiving his gold medal at the World Championship in Russia, player Mohamed Youssef has been suspended by the Egyptian Kung Fu Association from participating in the next round of the international event.
With this gesture, gold medalist Youssef demonstrated his solidarity with the hundreds who died during the mid-August forced dispersal of two Islamist protest camps held in Cairo to demand the reinstatement of ousted president Mohamed Morsi.
"Kung Fu player Mohamed Youssef will be deported from Russia due to his behavior," Egypt Kung Fu Association executive officer Gamal El-Jazzar told Ahram Arabic website.
"He will also be banned from representing Egypt in the coming Kung Fu World Championship that kicks off on 27 November in Kuala Lumpur," he concluded.
