the health of Gabriel Camargo Salamanca, the largest shareholder of Sports Tolima, It’s gotten really tough in the last few months. The leader left the presidency of the club in the hands of his son, César Camargo, to undergo medical treatment.
Your situation is quite difficult. Camargo, 80, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in March of this year. The leader traveled to the United States to undergo an experimental treatment.

The sad news of Gabriel Camargo: he lost his speech
Camargo would definitively distance himself from public life due to his health situation, as revealed by the journalist Nelson Enrique Ascencio. The communicator referred to the issue before the Municipal Council of Ibagué, in the midst of a project to change the name of the Manuel Murillo Toro stadium so that it bears the name of the leader.
“Don Gabriel will not return to public life. He returned from the United States after a 3-month experimental treatment for throat cancer. He returned to the capital of the Republic the previous Saturday and the idea is to prolong his life for a few days. Nobody knows how many days it will be, because I repeat, the treatment is experimental,” Ascencio said, in a video published by the El Rincón del Vinotinto party account.
“He lost his speech, something very hard for a person taught to command, to order, a leader from every point of view. He will not return to public life and will dedicate himself to his recovery. He is 80 years old and the cancer is very aggressive. It remains to be seen what can be done and, with the will of God, to know how long he will accompany us, “added Ascencio.
DRAMATIC REVELATION! 😥

The importance of Camargo in the history of Deportes Tolima
Camargo initially joined Deportes Tolima in 1979 and, from a team that was in last place in the table, went on to fight for titles: he became runner-up twice, in 1981 and 1982, and reached the semifinal of the Copa Libertadores in 1982. .
In 1983 he left the club and invested in Independiente Santa Fe, without the expected results, and stayed away from football for ten years, when he was called up at a time when Tolima was fighting not to be relegated.
Although he failed to prevent the team from falling to B that year, Tolima returned to the highest category after a spectacular campaign in 1994 and since then began a growth that led him to win three leagues (2003-II, 2018-I and 2021- I), a Colombia Cup (2014) and a Super League (2022).
