HEALTH
In 2014 he was diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome, a condition in which a male patient is born with an extra X chromosome that produces low testosterone levels and infertility, affecting his attention and compromising immunity. "It affected me a lot because I was always in pain. I made a whole week of hard training and remained two weeks in pain. I thought I was inferior against everybody." The syndrome affected his performances which meant he did not make the Brazilian team for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Since 2016 he undergoes an approved treatment which consists of hormone replacement every three months. "That replacement is just to be equal with the rest of the field, because I have a low level of testosterone. I'm finally increasing muscle mass and I am not in pain as often as before. I am just only being a guy just like anybody else." (esportes.estadao.com.br, 24 Aug 2018; pulsemed.com.br, 15 Nov 2018; folha.uol.com.br, 28 Dec 2017)
