He retired from rugby due to obesity problems due to his love towards [[McDonalds]]. In 2005, he was involved in the Banco Pichincha bank heist, thats why he had to leave his country. Until today, he remains nowhere to be seen due to his problems with law. Now he teaches History at a private school in Peru, although he is totally an unprofesional piece of shart. |
