According to police sources consulted by La Voz de Córdoba, the player was stopped at a checkpoint near three in the morning, and the Highway Police administered a breath test, which showed a blood alcohol level of 0.71 grams per liter.

The player was unable to continue driving his car and had to be picked up by someone else. From a legal standpoint, the club could apply sanctions based on Collective Labor Agreement 557/09, the footballer’s employment contract, and the internal disciplinary regulations.
