Antoine Dupont “drunk” in the evening, a close friend weighs in

After more than a year of absence and a break in rugby sevens crowned with a gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games,

Antoine Dupont will make his comeback in the XV of Francethis Saturday, for a test match against Japan at the Stade de France. The tricolor rugby star finds his place at the hinge alongside his partner on the Toulouse side, Thomas Ramos.

On the sidelines of the meeting, Gauthier Enfedaque, one of Antoine Dupont's best friends, explained why the Toulouse resident remained on top physically, even after ten weeks of vacation. “ I don't know anyone as serious as Antoine. He knows how to let loose on party nights, but it's always in control », he told the newspaper
The Team.

“Have I ever seen him drunk?” Once, after his first French champion title”

And to reveal a juicy anecdote: “ What if I've ever seen him drunk? Once, after his first French champion title in 2019, but it was exceptional. More recently, last May, I remembered him after Toulouse's victory in the Champions Cup. Everyone was celebrating. He was drinking cokes. »

Dupont's friend then returned to the very studious vacation of the 27-year-old scrum half after the Paris Games. “ Antoine had to fit a training session into the day, indicated Gauthier Enfedaque.
A physical trainer contacted by his agent and who also acted as a physiotherapist was also there to support him. We had to do three bodybuilding sessions in the room of the hotel where we were, two training sessions in the park which faced the same hotel, and another on a real sports field, freely accessible, to work on real distances. »
