Not a single citation for this entire paragraph

The whole section describing his educational and other achievements does not have a single reference supporting it. Reads more like PR.

"While working in the manufacture of medicines at Droguerías Aliadas (a company that also sponsored him in cycling), he began his studies in chemistry. Later he received sponsorship from the company Mora Hermanos who supported him to study electronics at the Academy of Electronic Sciences of Antioquia. Here he stood out and won first place with a project in which he manufactured his first transistor radio. As his graduation thesis he built a 32” television. He received sports medicine and nursing courses sponsored by Coldeportes, in both courses he received distinctions as the best student. He is the founder of El Osito Bicycles and the El Potrerillo hatchery. An exhibitor of horses, he reaped triumphs between 1978 and 1993, in 1986 he initiates research with his veterinarian to cure equine infectious anemia."

It should either be removed or at least supported by a reference. 139.47.85.242 (talk) 15:23, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
