Talk:Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad

Algerian origin
Why is the very second sentence in the very first paragraph about his 'non-French' origin? Why are you people so racist? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.183.101 (talk) 20:19, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism
I got rid of a giant chunk of the article dedicated to an incident with a mascot. The paragraph was opinionated and poorly written. If anybody wants to try and rewrite it, be my guest. BrokenRev (talk) 21:53, 1 July 2012 (UTC)BrokenRev

Assaulting a 14 year old girl
French athlete Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad has gained track and field infamy in the lead-up to the London Olympics.

The 27-year-old had just won gold in the European Championship's 3000 metre steeplechase in Helsinki on Sunday July1, 2012 when audience cheers quickly subsided into shock over his subsequent actions.
