The former German soccer star ruptured a testicle while training to dive for a reality TV show.
On the 28th of last month, the British media Daily Mail reported that former Bundesliga football player and TV star Torsten Legat (53) had to have her testicles removed.
The accident happened when Legat jumped from a 3m high board on the second day of training for the TV show ‘RTL Turmsprug’.
Legat said he forgot to attach his legs and jumped off and made a loud noise when he hit the water.

Legatt felt the pain, but at first took it for granted, and even took a few more jumps to practice.
However, on the way home, Legat said he realized something was seriously wrong.
When Legat returned home, he said, the injured area had inflated “nearly the size of a balloon”.
After going to the urologist, Legat was diagnosed with a testicular rupture, testicular hematoma and cystitis, and the doctor said the testicles had to be removed.
“At first, I thought the world was falling apart,” Legatt said in an interview, but he has decided to undergo a testicular transplant in August and has now regained his composure.
