My Life in Argentina and Beyond

Thursday, March 29, 2007: Yesterday Argentine football icon Diego Armando Maradona was taken to a private clinic located in the always trendy barrio of Palermo. He had to be medicated because he simply did not want to be hospitalized. Maradona has been gaining weight lately and his alcohol intake worried his friends and family. Apparently, he had been at the airport of Eizeza waiting to board a plain for Switzerland on his way to drug rehabilation clinic when he began to feel ill. It is also rumored that his 2 daughters had not been in favor of his new romantic relationship and that made him want to drink more.
