Corruption and injustice @ Taekwondo Championship

Edwin Baas (red) from Matsuru Team Taekyon Haarlem fought during the Dutch Open in March 1996 against Egypt (blue). It was equal 3 against 3 in the third and last round. During the last ten seconds Edwin Baas scored with a nearyo-chagi (axe kick) on the head. The score appeared on the electronic device, with still 8 seconds to play. The score became 4 against 3 advantage of Edwin Baas and he fought for the lasting 8 seconds. The bell rang and Baas throw his hands in the air because he had won. Then the following happened: the referees were asked to come together and they discussed with each other. The result was that 1 point was taken of the score of Baas. The score became 3-3 again. Everybody was surprised when the referee pointed the man from Egypt being the winner. Baas refused to leave the fighting area by protest. Marc van Keulen, Baas his coach, asked the jury for an explanation. They told him that the last score Baas made was not valid. This video will show you clearly that the score was valid. And if in case a score would have been invalid they should have taken the score back immediately during the game, not afterwards. After that happened they said that the official playtime already passed which is not the case so you can see in the video. Van Keulen made an official protest, but it happened to be a political game. They didn't want to see the video. Now we use this way to show the world what happened. Baas now has a school for Muay Thai Kickboxing, Mixfight/freefight/ MMA (Mixed Martial Arts in Curacao (Kòrsou) The Netherlands Antilles (Antia) Caribbean www.baassports.com

The Naeryo chagui was a valid point, but... 2 Kyongo (foult) = -1 point. so... 4-1 = 3. nothing wrong here. That´s why he lost a point.

But, at that time, rules for tied matchs in that case demands the victory for those who scored more points. Here´s the referee error.
