== Notable cases ==
In 1996, [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) player [[Roberto Alomar]] spat in umpire [[John Hirschbeck]]'s face during a dispute. Alomar received a five-game suspension for the incident, but the punishment was served during the following season, and not the 1996 playoffs. MLB umpires, upset over the lack of an immediate suspension, threatened to go on [[Strike action|strike]] before a federal judge prevented them from doing so.<ref>{{cite news|last=Smith|first=Claire|title=An Error the Official Scorer Cannot Take Away|work=The New York Times|date=1996-10-08|url=
During the [[2008 Beijing Olympics]], [[Angel Valodia Matos]] from [[Cuba]] pushed and then kicked a referee in the face during a [[Taekwondo]] match. He was disqualified for taking too much [[injury time]] in the [[playoff|bronze medal match]] by referee [[Chakir Chelbat]], before kicking Chelbat in the face. The referee required stitches in his lip after the attack. The [[World Taekwondo Federation]] has banned Matos and his coach from taekwondo competitions for life.<ref name="espn.com">{{cite web|title=Matos faces lifetime ban after kicking referee following match|url=http://www.espn.com/olympics/summer08/judo/news/story?id=3549903|website=ESPN|accessdate=24 August 2008}}</ref>
