I thought it was El Bakkali who took a swing at another athlete after crossing the finish line at the end of a 3000m/steeplechase event a couple years back, but I can't find the video or an article about it?
Does anyone remember this?

It was Mehdi Baala and Mekhisi Benabbad. I think it was actually after a 1500, although Benabbad was a steepler. Some beef between the two French training camps. It was a while ago. I don't totally remember the details.
There was Benabbad and Balla who fought after a 1500. I recall a steeple fight with Bakkali but also cannot find it online. Appears to have been wiped!
no, but this is a fun throwback from 2012
Remember when Bennabad shoved that mascot? I’ll never forget that moment. Those French are not a friendly bunch
I remember when the high jumper broke up with his gf and turned up drunk after drinking a litre of vodka or something, he was Russian I think... he just fell on the mat.

Benabad was a first class prick all the way.
I'd bet Benabad gets in a lot of street fights. With women. I've only seen him take on kids, women and 130 pound men on camera.
