At the 1994 FIFA World Cup Maradona played in two games, scoring one goal against Greece, before being sent home after failing a drug test for ephedrine doping. In his autobiography, Maradona argued that the test result was due to his personal trainer giving him the power drink Rip Fuel. His claim was that the U.S. version, unlike the Argentine one, contained the chemical and that, having run out of his Argentinian dosage, his trainer unwittingly bought the U.S. formula. FIFA subsequently expelled him from USA '94 and Argentina were subsequently eliminated in the second round. Maradona has also separately claimed that he had an agreement with FIFA, on which the organization reneged, to allow him to use the drug for weight loss before the competition in order to be able to play. According to Maradona, this was so that the World Cup would not lose prestige because of his absence. This allegation has never been proven.

  • Who gives a fuck if Maradonna used ephedrine,magical players like him should be allowed to use doping so they can play until they are 65!!!!!

    I would trade one more year of a player like this for 20 years of millionaire losers that call them selfs pro football players these days.

  • q golazo q hizo el cani !

    

  • Il gesto più codardo nella storia dello sport. Allontanare da una manifestazione mondiale un artista, un genio...

    Siete imperdonabili e ripugnamente abietti.

  • Who gives a shit what he took. He delivered some of the best footbal i have seen in my childhood. Personaly, he had the skills, like all talented athletes just he's age caught up to him. Nowadays athletes are taking some next level substances

  • hauhauhua maradroga me lembro dessa copa como se fosse hoje, na comemoração contra a grécia dava pra ver como ele estava drogado, e tem gente que considera ele como melhor jogador do mundo uhauhaua, não vi Messi, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo ou Rivaldo com problemas com droga.

    Maradona não passa de algo forjado pela mídia e um péssimo exemplo em tds os sentidos.
