Maradona 'sedated and recovering'

Argentine former football star Diego Maradona is stable and recovering well after being admitted to a Buenos Aires hospital on Wednesday, doctors say.
The 46-year-old's personal physician said his ill health was brought on by excessive smoking, drinking and eating.

Maradona led the Argentine team to victory in the 1986 World Cup and is revered in his country.

He has previously battled cocaine addiction and being overweight, and has been treated for heart problems.

Maradona's personal physician, Dr Alfredo Cahe, said family problems had depressed his patient and led to his latest health crisis.

"He didn't have a very consistent lifestyle, in his eating habits, his drinking and the amount of cigars he smoked," Dr Cahe said.

Fans

He said Maradona had been against being taken to hospital.

"He woke up at 0230 and he insulted me, he didn't want to be there. They sedated him again and he fell asleep," Dr Cahe told a local radio station.

The latest statement issued by the hospital on Thursday said Maradona had been sedated and was resting.

More tests were being carried out but he was recovering well, although he was expected to remain in hospital for the time being, the statement said.

Maradona is still idolised in Argentina and his fans are watching and waiting for any news, the BBC's Daniel Schweimler reports from Buenos Aires.

Ill-health

Maradona led Argentina to World Cup victory in 1986, and won league titles at home and in Italy.


But in 1991, he was banned for 15 months after failing a drugs test and tested positive again for banned drugs at the 1994 World Cup in the US.

He retired from competitive sport in 1997. In 2004, he spent 10 days in intensive care with high blood pressure, breathing problems and a lung infection.

Two years ago, he had a stomach stapling operation. He lost 30kg (66lb), began playing football again and appeared to be getting his life back on track.

But the Argentine media reported at the weekend that Maradona had put on weight and was considering taking a slimming cure in Switzerland.

Earlier this month, Argentina's central bank said it was investigating him for alleged financial irregularities.

Maradona is in Clinic for Treatment

Clinic director: Maradona sedated, treated for alcohol and dietary abuses


BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) -- Argentine soccer hero Diego Maradona is being treated for alcoholism and excessive eating and smoking.

A day after Maradona was taken by ambulance to the Guemes Sanatorium, clinic director Hector Pezzella said Thursday the 47-year-old former star was under sedation to avoid problems with withdrawal from alcohol.

He said Maradona's life was not in danger and that he remained in stable condition and was improving.

"Alcoholism in Mr. Maradona or in any other patient is not something to be taken lightly. One has to treat it," Pezzella declared at the door of the clinic, his words carried live on Argentine television.

"They are undertaking treatment specifically for addiction," he added. "At this moment, they are treating him for a problem of addiction to alcohol."
Maradona led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title and the final in 1990. In 2001, FIFA declared him one of the greatest players in soccer history, alongside Pele.

But off the field, he has battled cocaine addiction and obesity. In 2005, Maradona underwent gastric bypass surgery in Colombia, sharply reducing his weight.

Maradona's physician, Alfredo Cahe, said the soccer great -- despite his own protests -- was taken to the clinic late Wednesday for health problems brought on by overeating, drinking and "the quantity of cigars he smoked."

He added Maradona woke early Thursday in his 13th-floor hospital bed and cursed him.

"He didn't want to be there," Cahe told Argentina's independent Radio Union. "After that, they sedated him again, and he slept."

Cahe said Maradona's health problems did not involve cocaine or other dangerous drugs but added Maradona had been in low spirits because of family and other problems.

"It was necessary to hospitalize him," Cahe said.

He said Maradona would remain hospitalized at least a week.

Local reports said Maradona had been seen recently frequenting local restaurants and nightclubs. Cahe recently told the sports daily Ole that he was considering sending Maradona to Switzerland to remove him from his social "environment" and better control his diet.

The Colombian doctor who performed the gastric bypass surgery said Thursday that Mardona's refusal to get regular checkups after the 2005 operation might have contributed to his losing battle against obesity.
"Any patient who undergoes this sort of procedure needs to submit to regular checkups to make sure they're following recovery instructions, but in Maradona's case there was no follow-up," Francisco Holguin, leader of the Medihelp Service clinic, told Caracol Radio.

Maradona was hospitalized in Uruguay in 2000 and again in 2004 in Buenos Aires. Maradona was counseled for drug abuse in Argentina in 2004 and in September of that year traveled to Cuba for treatment at Havana's Center for Mental Health.

Maradona, who also won Italian and Argentine league titles, failed a doping test in 1991 and was banned for 15 months. He failed another drug test at the 1994 World Cup in the United States.

He retired in 1997.
Maradona has acknowledged he intentionally struck the ball with his hand in the famous "Hand of God" goal against England in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals -- calling that trick just "a bit of mischief."

The referee allowed the goal to stand despite protests by the English team that Maradona punched the ball into the net.

That 1986 quarterfinal match against England also included what soccer's governing body declared the greatest goal in World Cup competition -- one in which Maradona dribbled half the length of the field, dodging five opponents to score the winning goal.

Maradona's exploits have made him a national hero in Argentina, though the few fans waiting for news outside the hospital where overwhelmed by scores of reporters and camera crews.
Adrian Alonso, a 31-year-old fan, said he knows the former star isn't universally loved because of his antics on and off the field, but Alonso said he was ready to remain for days in a vigil outside the clinic. "When he feels bad, I feel bad," Alonso said.

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (TICKER) -- Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona, who has had a history of drug problems, remained hospitalized Thursday.

On Wednesday, Maradona was admitted to the Guemes Hospital after falling ill. A statement by the hospital said there was no link between the illness and Maradona's well-documented battle with drugs.

Dr. Alfredo Cache said Maradona, 46, was admitted as a precaution.

"There is nothing to do with cocaine or anything like that," Cache said. "There was some imbalance in weight, cigars and drinks. Also he suffers from stress, so I thought it was wise to take him to the hospital, even against his will.

"Diego has been living a lifestyle that is not suitable."

Maradona led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title and is one of soccer's all-time greats. In 2001, he was named by FIFA as one of the greatest players in soccer history, putting him alongside Brazil legend Pele.

Off the field, Maradona has lived an extravagant lifestyle and has battled cocaine addiction and obesity.

Maradona was expected to travel to Switzerland to undergo tests and see if he can shift the weight he has put on since undergoing a stomach-stapling operation in 2005 that saw him lose 66 pounds.

"We've been scheduling it, but it's not the right time to do that trip," Cache said.

In 2000, Maradona was hospitalized with a severe heart problem. Four years later, he spent several days in intensive care with heart and breathing problems.

Maradona also led Argentina to the World Cup title in 1990, then was banned for 15 months a year later after failing a drug test. He also failed a drug test during the 1994 World Cup, then retired three years later.

One of Maradona's famous moments came in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals against England, when he intentionally struck the ball with his hand to score the famous "Hand of God" goal, which stood even though Maradona punched the ball into the net.

That game also included what FIFA dubbed "the greatest goal in World Cup competition" in which Maradona dodged numerous opponents on his way to scoring the game-winning tally.

Doctors reported progress Friday in treating Diego Maradona for alcohol abuse and other excesses that prompted the soccer great's hospitalization.

"He is progressing well," said Hector Pezzella, director of the private Guemes Sanatorium, where the 47-year-old former World Cup star who has fought battles against obesity and cocaine addiction was taken by ambulance Wednesday.

Pezzella said Maradona, who was reportedly hospitalized against his wishes, was "obeying doctors" on treatment for withdrawal symptoms, and "never once was aggressive."

Doctors have said Maradona's life is not in danger and detoxification would take at least five days. "The most important thing is that he get through this period of excessive alcohol consumption," Pezzella said.

Pezzella said Maradona ate his first solid meal since arriving, a light breakfast, despite being under sedation.

Maradona, who led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup championship and the 1990 finals, is idolized by millions of compatriots. In 2001, FIFA declared him one of the greatest players in soccer history, alongside Pele.

But off the field, he has battled cocaine addiction and obesity. In March 2005, Maradona underwent gastric bypass surgery in Colombia, and shed as much as 110 pounds from his ballooning waistline.

Maradona was hospitalized in 2000 in Uruguay and in 2004 in Buenos Aires, both times for life-threatening problems doctors tied to past cocaine use.

Alfredo Cahe, Maradona's personal physician, said excessive drinking, eating and cigar smoking was to blame for the latest episode, not cocaine.

Maradona was spotted recently at restaurants and nightclubs in Buenos Aires, and Cahe said his social "environment" was Maradona's biggest enemy.

On Thursday, the Colombian doctor who performed the gastric bypass two years ago said Maradona's refusal to get regular checkups after the 2005 operation may have contributed to his latest woes.

"Any patient who undergoes this sort of procedure needs to submit to regular checkups to make sure they're following recovery instructions," Francisco Holguin, head of the Medihelp Service clinic, told Caracol Radio. "But in Maradona's case there was no follow-up."

Without contact, it was impossible for doctors to monitor whether Maradona was abiding by strict orders to exercise and maintain a low-calorie diet needed for the procedure to have lasting success, Holguin added.

Maradona failed drug tests in 1991 and at the 1994 World Cup finals in the United States. He retired in 1997.
