Bronze Medal stripped from Swedish wrestler
By Perry

Ara Abrahamian from Sweden was stripped from his bronze medal at the Beijing Olympics last week for reasons that are quite obvious (see picture on the left).  How the heck did this guy even get to compete?  Ara tested positive for massive amounts of whey protein.  Oh, and steroids.

Actually, Ara didn’t test positive for steroids and that picture isn’t even Mr. Abrahamian.  Apparently during the medal ceremony, he took off his bronze medal and threw it on the ground as he walked away.

OTR completely agrees with these actions.  Micah once won a bronze medal during the 1992 Olympics in the women’s downhill skiing skeet shooting event.  At the medal ceremony he ripped off his bronze medal and threw it on the ground as he walked away.  So, you can see the similarities in these two situations.
