Damien Hooper warned for Aborigine t-shirt

Damien Hooper incurs the wrath of the Olympic officials for wearing a T-shirt featuring an Aboriginal flag.

Australian light-heavyweight Damien Hooper has received a warning from Olympic officials for wearing a T-shirt featuring an Aboriginal flag.

Hooper, who dispatched Marcus Browne of the United States, broke the rule that forbids athletes to use the Games as a political platform.

However, the 20-year argued that he was proud of his cultural heritage.

"I'm not saying that I don't care, I'm just saying I'm very proud of what I did," said Hooper.

Hooper now faces Russia's Egor Mekhontcev in the last 16.
