BFD bodybuilder must return to work


(NECN) - A Boston firefighter who competed in a bodybuilding contest while on disability leave for a back injury must go back to work on Monday.

The Boston Fire Department says officials believe Albert Arroyo can do his job inspecting buildings.

The video of Arroyo turned up on Youtube six weeks after he claimed he suffered a career-ending injury.

Arroyo's lawyers told the Boston Globe he believes Arroyo should follow his doctor's instructions and not return to work.
