Mahiedine Mekhissi Benabbad in trouble again...

Why can't the IAAF just give him a fake positive for EPO and be done with it? It's not like he'd be surprised since he's almost certainly dirty anyway.

So by my count he's now assaulted a school director, Mehdi Baala and two mascots in the last three years.

To be completely fair the assualts on the mascots were sexual in nature.

Roid rage?

i'll second the speculation of roid rage

The only one that makes him look like a douche is the mascot incident, that was weak. The Baala incident was started by Baala. That is called holding your ground. "You mess with me I F*** you up." Totally fine, I absolutely did not see the problem with that and thought it was absolutely ridiculous when he got his appearance fee/prize money taken away. This recent incident is more sketchy, but still O.K. In Mekhissi's mind his brother deserved that job. He is the brother of a Oly. Silver medalist!!! It is mob mentality, if you don't get what you think you deserve you do something about it. Something to be learned there. So basically if he was to be an actual douche only the mascot incident would be acceptable to complain about, otherwise he would be pretty badass imo. I kind of wish some American's had his sort of aggressive mentality. Everyone is too buddy buddy and it is boring.

P.S. I don't condone what he did, but in two circumstances I can see the logic behind his decisions.

So you see the logic of a hot-headed, douche bag that pushes children mascots and uses violence to get what he wants? Yeah, ok, you sound like a real winner yourself.

I said specifically I didn't like the mascot incident. that was in bad taste. I do see some logic in using violence when someone swings at you.

Ok, so this is the part that makes you an idiot then. So you think it is logical to assault someone because you are a silver medalist and someone didn't give your brother a job?

You also don't know what "Mob Mentality" means.

Is it not logical that if you beat someone up and tell them you want something, there is a better chance you will get it? I guess the bullies who took your lunch money weren't enough to get that idea in your head. It is a pretty simple concept.

I am not saying it is a good thing. I don't condone his actions nor do I think it is ethical in any way, just there is logical reasoning to what he was doing. There was an upside to his negative action, that is all. The mascot shoving has no upside, therefore not logical and pretty messed up.

By mob mentality i mean the mob as in a gang or the mafia. It is called strong arming. I Should have said gang instead of mob, that was my mistake. The silver medalist thing was me being sarcastic. I don't think that necessarily, it is just a view of what may have been his justification.

That explains it then.

Completely agree with runner85's comments. Well said.

Its called winner's mentality and the phrase "nice guys finish last" is generally proved correct!

He's Been-a-badd boy!
