There have been far worse robberies in Olympic boxing over the years than what Irish bantamweight Michael Conlan experienced on Tuesday in his quarterfinal loss to Russia’s Vladimir Nikitin....

In the ring after Nikitin’s decision was read to the crowd, Conlan raised his arms up in a double middle finger salute to let the judges know what he thought of them.

Then, he went on television and, in a rant filled with curses, accused the International Boxing Association (AIBA) of corruption and said he was through competing in its events....

“How much did they charge you bro??” an irate Conlan tweeted directly to Putin.
