BOSTON (AP) - The Boston firefighter who competed in a
bodybuilding contest while out on disability leave has failed to
follow an order to return to work.

Albert Arroyo had filed for a disability pension in April,
claiming he suffered a career-ending back injury. But in May, he
competed in a national bodybuilding competition.

After a report in The Boston Globe, Fire Commissioner Roderick
Fraser ordered Arroyo to show up for work Monday.

A Fire Department spokesman said Arroyo did not tell anyone
about why he did not do so Monday. A call to his lawyer was not
immediately returned.

Fraser has said that if the 46-year-old Arroyo didn't come back
to work as a member of the Fire Prevention Division, the department
would start disciplinary proceedings against him, including
possible termination.
