World Taekwondo To Review Cook Omission

The World Taekwondo Federation is set to review British Taekwondo’s selection process for London 2012, following the decision to pick Lutalo Muhammad ahead of world number one Aaron Cook for the Olympics. 

The review will examine whether or not the decision has broken its code of ethics.

WTF secretary general Jean-Marie Ayer stated: ‘The manner of the selection is bringing our sport into disrepute.’

However, the WTF does not have the power to change the decision of the British Taekwondo selection panel.

Cook, 21, is now reportedly considering legal action into the decision to select Muhammad, currently ranked 59 in the world, instead of him.
