ZARAGOZA (Agencies) The bullfighter who was severly gored through the jaw and eye on October 7th (See here) left the hospital yesterday and held a press conference to announce that his wish to complete his contracts in Latin America will be "impossible". However, he will be preparing to fight again next season "because that is the way it is written in this profession." He added that he resented neither the bull nor bullfighting. "Bulls have given me a great deal; this is just an accident," he said. Present at the press conference were the heads of the medical team that took care of him. Padilla also said that he now had to concentrate on regaining mobility in his face and the use of his left eye.
