The analysis report of the breathalyzer test performed on the big wave surfer Felipe Cesarano revealed that the athlete laughed and talked repeatedly and confusedly during the procedure.

The result of the test that shows the amount of alcohol in the blood had already indicated that Cesarano was drunk when he was involved in a traffic accident with death in Rio de Janeiro this Wednesday (16).

“The defendant says he was in a nightclub around 5 am and it would now be 7 pm and he is at IML [Instituto médico legal], but you don’t know why. Laughs during exam, talks repeatedly, confused, claims he would only have drunk beer. Cannot perform neurological examination maneuvers correctly (walk on tiptoe, do all fours, finger / nose) ”, says the report signed by the police.

Known as “Gordo”, the athlete was driving his car towards the South Zone of the Lagoa-Barra Highway when he caused the accident. According to witnesses, he lost control of the vehicle, crossed the central construction site, and struck a car head-on of a Navy sergeant who came from the opposite direction.
