Juan Felipe Cadavid is one of the most recognized journalists and commentators in Colombian sports journalism. His growth in the union has been notable. He went from being a reporter for Fútbol Manía broadcasts on RCN to director of The Sports Carousel from Caracol Radio, Member of The pulse of football and one of the most respected football analysts.
Precisely with the latter, a former forward who also played for América de Cali, Juan Felipe had a publicly known altercation. The ‘killer’ physically attacked him.
Years after that uncomfortable and reprehensible moment, Cadavid spoke about the subject again in an interview with his wife Cristina Estupiñán in the As Colombia space, called Sincerely Chris.
“Julián Téllez was a colleague of mine at Win Sports, he slapped me in a moment of fever,” Juan Felipe recalled and added about the long serve.
As he revealed, the slap did not happen in the middle of a program, but outside the recording sets.
“At a time when we shouldn’t have been talking about football, we ended up talking about football and he ended up slapping me,” he clarified.
The journalist, who also has a YouTube channel where he talks about football tactics and analysis called Let’s talk about gamealso confessed what his reaction was to the slap.
“Surely if I go to war they will take me out of Win and I need to work and I will lower myself to something that I am not. The only thing I did was tell him that he wouldn’t find the same answers with me. “I demanded that he never touch me again in my life,” she concluded.
On the channel, which owns the rights to Colombian soccer, they called both panelists to order and discussed the issue with the channel’s interdisciplinary team.
“They took us to Win’s psychologist, he offered me excuses, I accepted them. The psychologists wanted everything to be normal and I was honest at that time. “I can work with him without any problem, as a director I can treat him like everyone else, but I will never have coffee with him again,” commented
Juan Felipe Cadavid closed that chapter of the interview by confessing that he has met in public places with Julián Téllez, who returned to Win Sports and is once again part of long servethey greet each other with chivalry and formalism, but according to the journalist, it is Julián who ends up leaving due to discomfort.
