Greek bodybuilder slaps judge in furious reaction to losing competition

A BODYBUILDER is facing a lifetime ban after he pulled out his penis and slapped a judge in a furious reaction to losing a competition.

Bodybuilder slaps judge after placing second in competition

A GREEK bodybuilder was a little too pumped up after losing a prestigious competition, so he slapped a judge, flipped over the judges’ tables and reportedly pulled out his penis.

Giannis Magos freaked out at the 2016 IFBB Diamond Cup in Athens, Greece, over the weekend after he won his 100kg division, but failed to win the overall title.

Magos was caught on video jawing at judge Armando Marquez before slapping him across the face.

In another video of the incident, taken after Magos hit Marquez, the bodybuilder is seen stalking around the knocked-over judges’ tables while ranting about the results of the competition.

“Yesterday I’m winner! Yesterday I winner!” Margos yells as the crowd looks on. “And today I get beat, how? I don’t understand … f*** off!”

Though the results of this year’s competition were bad for Magos, part of his anger might have been fuelled by the fact that this was the third time he had come in second place overall at the annual event, according to EvolutionOfBodyBuilding.net.

The eventual winner of the competition was Christos Pistolas of Greece, who posed next to Magos in the final comparisons Sunday.

Magos is facing a lifetime suspension for his “disrespectful and aggressive behaviour,” according to a post on the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness’s official Facebook page.

IFBB Hall of Famer Kevin Levrone slammed Magos’s behaviour. “It was a very, very embarrassing moment,” the American said. “You have to act like a pro before you’re going to end up being a pro. For the guy that did that, I hope he finds himself and learns a lesson. He’s a hurt a lot of people.”
