Overview
- A preseason image of a Ferro Carril Oeste player showing apparent severe weight gain went viral on X, with early posts wrongly naming new signing Franco Miritello.
- Subsequent reports identified the subject as Enzo Hoyos, who said the picture was manipulated and not an accurate reflection of his condition.
- Hoyos acknowledged arriving two or three kilos over his target weight, adding that the edit exaggerated him by roughly 30 kilos.
- The meme cycle was amplified by fans, parody accounts, and streamers such as La Cobra and DJ Mariio, extending the ridicule beyond club circles.
- Hoyos said he is training normally under coach Sergio Rondina and will respond on the pitch as Ferro prepares to open its Primera Nacional campaign at San Telmo.
