Former Galatasaray goalkeeper Farid Mondragón has been hopitalised after an apparent suicide attempt in Colombia.

The ex-Colombia international, who is the oldest player to ever play at a World Cup, was admitted to hospital after reportedly taking an overdose of anti-depressants.

The Valle de Lili hospital in Cali released a statement saying Mondragon is under medical observation due to a "metabolic imbalance".

“There is only me who can judge my life, and I’m tired of being judged by others without the possibility of defending myself,” Mondragon posted on Instagram prior to the incident.
