'Brasilly' judo

Brazil -- Two Brazilian judo directors have been kicked out of the Panamerican Games for their part in a brawl following a match.

The Brazilian Olympic Committee added that the pair would be banned from all official events for the next four years, including the 2011 Panam Games in Guadalajara.

Trouble erupted after Cuba's Sheila Espinosa beat Brazilian Erika Miranda to win the gold medal in the women's 52 kilo category on Sunday.

Members of both delegations became involved in a fight along with a television crew, while spectators threw cups of water and plastic seats into the arena.
