Teammates Mehdi Baala and Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad came to blows after crossing the finish line in the 1,500m in the Monaco Diamond League. The furore started when Baala head-butted Mekhissi who then responded by swinging his arms wildly- throwing a concession of punches at his colleagues face. Baala said "people like that don't have their place in sport. But saying that, its very rare to see assholes like that...I wanted to break him in two."
What's unfortunate is that there is no explanation on what exactly led too these sluggers fighting after the race. All it says is that this Baala character finished 9th and the other guy finished 11th and "an attempt to console each other went badly wrong". What could one of them possibly say to the other to that'd be consoling after both finishing so far behind? i mean i don't follow the Monaco Diamond League, so I don't know how many guys were in the race, but i'm pretty sure if you finish the race in the double digits, or close to it, you probably sucked. But I'd be even more pissed if i was Mahiendine Mekhissi-Beabbad, who not only finished behind the guy he "fought", but also loses the race of fighting by getting headbutted AND right hooked before he could even being to wind up the first of four of the slowest developing over hand rights I've ever seen. Not to mention, not one of them landed. Rough day for Mahiendine.
