During a league match against Pelita Bandung Raya on 21 April 2013, Rumaropen assaulted the referee, punching him in the face after he had awarded a penalty against Persiwa Wamena.[1] The official left the field, bleeding from his torn lower lip, and Rumaropen was given a red card.[2] As a result of the assault Rumaropen was banned for life by PSSI, the Football Association of Indonesia.[3]

Despite the life ban, Ruparopen still played for Persiwa Wamena on Premier League after getting relegated from Super League that year. He had a son, Diego Rumaropen, member of Indonesian National Police which was killed by TPNPB.[4][5]
