The referee admitted that he defrauded the Hungarian wrestler’s match in Rio2016

Origo.hu writes that the Slovenian Stanislav Sernek, who was the referee at Viktor Lőrincz’s bronze match in Rio, admitted to Hungarian Golden Whistle winner referee László Péteri that he was pressurized to make out the German Denis Kudla as the winner of the bronze match.

“Sernek told me that he was constantly pressurized to judge against Lőrincz. He wasn’t willing to do so, but then he was ordered ‘to do his job’ from the background, so in the end he assisted to Lőrincz’s defeat” said László Péteri.

Viktor Lőricz was in the lead by 3:2, when 30 seconds before the end – many people think that unreasonably – the referee admonished him, so his opponent got one point and defeated the Hungarian wrestler in the end.

“The things that happened on this match go against the rules. It’s incomprehensible that this can happen at an Olympic Games, they basically took my bronze medal away. I don’t know when I’ll be able to get over this, but we have to go on and continue” said Viktor then.
