It is transpiring that Enner Valencia, who played tonight for Ecuador against Chile in Quito, had a warrant out for his arrest in his country for several thousand dollars in unpaid child support... the police tried to arrest him before the game but were somehow impeded... he played the game, then when it was almost over he came off the field "injured" on a motorised stretcher which accelerated away from chasing police *on the running track while the game was still going on*, allowing Valencia to escape in an ambulance.  Ridiculous story, will be interesting to see what happens...  A bit of footage here |

Our ground would be great for it - would love to see an ambulance screaming down the side of the John Smiths and out through the gates. Like something off the Italian Job. |

The worlds slowest police chase, they obviously are not that interested in catching him my great Nan can move quicker than those police and she's long dead.
Strange story mind

Quote from local police source " Our officers failed to apprehend the suspect due to the ability of his escape vehicle to go through red lights with other vehicles pulling over out the way. They were further inhibited by the fact the arresting officers couldnt give a fuck and were then seen asking the rest of the players for autographs whilst uploading selfies to their instagram account" Thats the onl way i can see the police chief explaining it. |

Must be a struggle paying Ecuadorean child support on a premiere league salary.
