Nobody said he did. Capitalize whatever you want but YOU'RE THE ONE MISSING THE POINT. Of course he's still getting paid. He however "retired" when his salary, THE ONE HES BEING PAID AS YOU SO DILIGENTLY REMIND US ALL, dropped from $4,000,000 to $1,000,000. That raises some questions in some people's minds to the validity of the medical issue at hand. Maybe he justified whatever steps he had to take to play with the $4,000,000 but after making so much over the course of his career, the $1,000,000 a year wasn't worth the hassle. Never once did I say he gave up money.
