Back on the Stage 2 set, the France Télévisions journalist returned on Sunday to his amputation, following a recurrence of his knee cancer last spring.
A few months after the recurrence of his knee cancer, Matthieu Lartot was back on the Stage 2 set, Sunday September 3. The journalist from France Télévisions, who will be commenting on the Rugby World Cup next week, returned to his fight and the amputation of his right leg, faithful to his desire to testify to raise awareness. Like what he does on social networks.
“I was amputated in the middle of June, so we did all the rehabilitation in shorts. I never hid the prosthesis. I completely assume this bionic side, I was confronted with it for two months in the center rehabilitation, with other amputees”said the journalist, “There is no taboo, but you have to be able to accept the gaze of others when you go out. I have always had a very sick, atrophied leg, I have always had this look on me, because I was limping.”
“If you have fun trying to hide your disability all your life, it’s going to be tiring. I have no reason to hide that. You have to be able to assume it, and live in the middle of society as you are. .”

After returning to his fight, Matthieu Lartot projected himself on the rest, since his life resumes, after a break of four months: “We want to start life again, to crunch it to the fullest. I was in a parallel life punctuated by operations, exams, anxiety”. An ordeal he went through “In the shoes of an athlete to come back so quickly, to approach my rehabilitation with a steel mind. I wanted to be in time to comment on the World Cup, and we are there. It was a fabulous engine.” He will resume the course of his professional life on Sunday September 10, in Marseille for the clash between South Africa and Scotland, which he will comment on with Dimitri Yachvili.
