Who was Oreste Puliti?
Oreste Puliti was an Italian fencer. He won four gold medals and a silver at three Olympic Games.
His teammates were accused of attempting to inflate his score by losing to him in the final of the Men's Sabre in 1924. He was disqualified and assaulted or threatened to assault a Hungarian judge, Gyorgy Kovacs, which resulted in the two duelling with real swords 4 months later. This ended in a draw.
