Comment[edit]

Does anyone know what he does for a living? As an amateur, he presumably has some job.--Silverback 22:28, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He's a pro, playing professional ball in Cuba. -Colin Kimbrell 14:30, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, all athletes in Cuba are considered amateurs and have other jobs. Castro outlawed professional sports in 1961. Players are rewarded, though—they are given time off and compensation for playing. However, I don't know what Gourriel's job is. --BRMo 17:09, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, never knew that. That's why I love it here, learn something new every day. -Colin Kimbrell 17:53, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One of the guys calling the Cuba-Dominican game mentioned he was an accountant.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.55.87.251 (talk) 18:45, 5 June 2006

Cuban players ...[edit]

... are "amateurs" in name only. They all have no-show jobs as "physical therapists" in keeping with Castro's sham "amateurism."—Preceding unsigned comment added by 33139 (talk • contribs) 01:11, 30 July 2006

He has a girlfriend from another country—Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.242.80.161 (talk) 05:03, 23 October 2006

Yulieski doesnt have a job, cause he's currently studying at college. I really don't remember exactly was he's studying but in spanish is called Cultura Fisica. I talked to him at the Centroamerican Games, where Cuba took the Gold Medal.

He lives with his family. (Mom, little bro ). He has a girlfriend that isnt from Cuba.

Also the article doesnt metion that Cuba also is the Sub-Champion of the Pre-Olimpic Championship celebrated at La Havana.

He made the All-Stars Team of the World Classic, Pre-Olimpic, Panam Games & Centroamerican Games.
