You guys are just a bunch of envious punks. He won the race. He is France's best chance for a distance medal.
What does he have to do to satisfy you guys? He's a champion.
His coach gave an interview in which he stated that he gave him explicit instructions to leave the track in a specific way. That stupid mascot got in the way. You can't blame Mahiedine, he was doing exactly what his coach asked him to do.
You are joking. This is over-the-top behaviour. He is a 24-carat prick. I am pretty sure his coach did not say, "assault anybody who gets in your way as you leave the track".
