The International Judo Federation, led by the former Romanian, now Austrian citizen, Marius Vizer, is at the center of a worldwide media scandal, because the Serbian Nemanja Majdov, world champion and Orthodox patriot, claimed that he was eliminated from the Olympics by unfair refereeing and now unfairly suspended for 5 months because he made the sign of the orthodox cross. Majdov is trained by his father, he is an exceptional athlete; I have known both of them since about 15 years ago, when Nemanja was fighting in the cadets, especially because he was also fighting in the category of our young owner, Mr. Andrei Gușă, with whom at that time I traveled to international competitions, where he also participated as a champion of Romania in the cadet age group.
Because this news is being reported on all around the world, suggesting a religious persecution, but also because I am still the president of the Romanian Judo Federation, and the referee on the tatami was the Romanian Ioana Babiuc, I want to bring some clarifications for the interested public. First, please listen to Marius Jeberean, certainly the most experienced Romanian international referee, in a short summary of the Paris incident. He specifies the technical details of the Olympic incident:
“My name is Marius Jeberean. I am the director of the Technical Commission of the College of Judo Referees within the Romanian Judo Federation. In connection with the decision to give the third warning, which led to the disqualification of the athlete Nemanja Majdov from Serbia, in his match with the Greek Tselidis, at the Olympic Games in Paris, in the 90 kg category, the referee’s decision was in accordance with the IJF regulation. Breaking the grip with both hands, after which there is no more contact with the opponent, stepping back or to the side, is penalized. However, I believe that the referee is not a policeman and must see the matches as a whole. The Serbian athlete was positive throughout the match, not avoiding the fight. They were two very valuable opponents, proof being that Tselidis got third place at these Olympic Games. In these situations they fight a lot for the grip, trying to create the best possible position for each of them to attack. After the Serbian athlete broke the hold by taking a step back, he immediately stepped towards his opponent to take the hold again, indicating that he was not passive or avoiding the fight. There are other situations encountered during the fights when one of the athletes could be penalized, but the fight is allowed to continue in order to make a clearer delimitation of the winner. Returning to the situation we were discussing, the decision was not made by the referee on the mat. It was given from the table to the directors of the arbitration commission, who have video control.”
You listened to Marius Jeberean. There are many technical details, but I let them flow, because not only the professional athletes in Romania are interested, and not only those in judo, but journalists are also interested and this is an official position of the Romanian Judo Federation related to arbitration in the case of this Serbian champion, who, I continue, also intrigued by the satanic ceremony that opened the Paris Olympics, posted some insults immediately after the competition, which he later deleted, insults to the International Olympic Committee, The International Judo Federation, which he considers responsible for recent failures, and indeed there are several matches in which Nemanja Majdov was wrongly refereed. One can still speak of persecution in his case. And the sign of the cross, which he made at the beginning, I didn’t notice if he also made it at the end, but if he did, it corresponds to a protest against the injustice he suffered. Two weeks ago, in Sarajevo, where he lives, he is a Bosnian Serb, he met with some Romanian officials, friends of Nemanja Majdov, to whom he complained about this fact, that he is constantly persecuted through the arbitrations of the International Judo Federation, arbitrations dubious, what prevents him from winning. Understand, friends: his frustration is great, because in these Olympics he was the number 2 favorite, with a chance of at least the bronze medal, the silver medal, with a little luck and inspiration even the gold medal. On the other hand, you have to understand that discipline and dignified conduct are two of the foundations of judo, and Nemanja Majdov, unfortunately, is not on his first offense. He has a volcanic nature, like any Serb. In Paris, from the point of view of the post-match vociferations, one can talk about a relapse.
What is the truth about the sanction and the news that went around the world? The truth is that even in judo there are referees who make the wrong decision, many with intentions dictated by the huge corruption in the sport. You here at Gold FM had the example from gymnastics, where Sabrina Voinea was robbed and was left without the Olympic medal. The truth is that Nemanja Majdov was undisciplined in terms of regulation, however it is equally true that the referees who take medals and results away from the athletes never suffer anything, they are part of the corruption mechanism and, I repeat, please imagine the frustration of champions who train at least six hours a day for so many years, without breaks , sacrificing their youth, many of them also their education, only in the hope of glory which is punctuated by medals obtained in official competitions, especially in the Olympics. From this point of view, I perfectly understand Majdov, I support and sympathize with him, but I do not agree with the hooliganism of athletes in competition arenas, including judoka.
He was judged, however, also for making the sign of the cross. We must be fair, he was penalized for it, but it is equally clear that this, making the sign of the cross, disturbs this collective West; you also know the cases of the orthodox Novak Djokovic and Simona Halep, who also suffered because of this, not being penalized according to the regulations but being booed by one or the other. Unfortunately, something I do not agree with, the penalty for the sign of the cross is contained in the regulations of the International Judo Federation, on the recommendation of the International Olympic Committee, which says that religious rituals are not allowed in sports competitions. Why do I say it’s stupid and a mistake? Because, Goldist friends, apart from talent and intense training, the sports successes of the great champions come mainly through their spirit, which is undoubtedly linked to everyone’s religion. Forbidding to worship at sports competitions is something aberrant, in fact it is another stupid imposition of transhumanism that dominates the collective West. How can you not worship, especially in judo, which is a fight? What do you do when you go to battle? You cross yourself!
The basic conclusion is, in fact, that this corruption in sports makes victims, Nemanja Majdov is in this category, but the main victim, unfortunately, is the very sport itself. Come on, Nemanja! Heads up and good luck! We, the Romanians, have a saying, which I am passing on to you from afar: “Horses do not die when dogs want, nor servants when their masters want!”.
