Trivia

In July 2017 Bălţoi was suspended by the Romanian Football Federation for match fixing attempt, after he sent a message to coach Alin Pânzaru, suggesting that Brăila should lose at Academica Clinceni. Later, he would say: "That's a stupidity, an aberration. I made an April 1 joke with Alin Pânzaru. I told him to do this thing, but it was a joke. He took it seriously and went with the SMS to the Federation. I'm innocent. Anyway, I retired from football. Now I do some kinetotherapist classes."
