    I heard it was the dastardly undisclosed and that can be pretty heinous

    I just looked around and according to French papers they think he may have Lyme disease or some virus that he picked up in South Africa while visiting his mother although he's supposedly doing much better now.

    From what I've heard, it is some type of body temperature regulation problem that can put hs life at risk that was the problem. Sad, I was loving his style and he would have been a fan favorite over here.

    I thought he was from Columbia? Lyme disease very bad stuff. He could have done some damage and made some noise.

    One of his parent is from colombia. Pier-Olivier Côté can't sound more from Québec though. He is from Quebec city, have the accent and everything.

    Fighting for the NABF (I think), when he knocked down his opponent in that second round, I thought the roof of the jam packed Colisée de Québec was going to explode.

    With his fan pleasing style, he could have made some good money in boxing. He is also a good charismatic guy.

    From what I have read in the local press, sounds like no body really knows either.
