RETIREMENT
In March 2017 he announced his retirement from swimming. (portalesportenet.com.br, 25 Mar 2017)
DEPRESSION
In 2014 he suffered from fatigue and over-training which in turn caused him to enter into a state of depression. This caused him to arrive late to training, distance himself from teammates and perform poorly. Following a holiday period and a training camp in the United States, he recovered his form and his mental health improved. (zerohora.atavist.com, 22 Aug 2015)
SUSPENSION
He tested positive for a stimulant in November 2010. The Brazilian Swimming Federation [CBDA] gave him a 30-day suspension. (sports.espn.go.com, 10 Jan 2011) |
