@charmand79In 1991, he served a 15-month suspension from soccer after he failed a drug test while he was playing for Napoli in Italy. Part of a very strong Argentina team in the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Maradona was sent home after failing another drug test, this time for the banned substance ephedrine. Cocaine or not, he still used other drugs. Great footballer nonetheless.

@charmand79 Based on your response it seems like you haven't. Robbing a bank and the use of an illicit drug aren't synonymous to each other. "Duration of cocaine’s immediate euphoric effects, which include energy, reduced fatigue, and mental clarity, depends on how it is used." (drugfree.org) Point is, he was on cocaine while he played.

@RetroThrasher Have you robbed a bank?? Effects of long term cocaine usage from about.com.. Irregular heart beat. Heart attack. Chest pain. Respiratory failure. Stroke. Seizures and headaches. Abdominal pain and nausea. Do you still believe that such effects can make a footballer or athlete better??

@charmand79 Have you tried cocaine? There is footage where he is obviously drugged out. (while on the pitch)

@OtadzbinaiKrv why cant anybody understand that there can't be a best. To have a best they would have to be playing against the same players. Defence used to be terrible. You cant compare someone who played 30 or 20 years ago to someone who plays now

maradona is the biggest puto in futbol

@pitcherasl12

Cocaine cannot make an athlete better. It is a drug not an anabolic and it makes your body and concentration weaker.

[pitcherasl12]

I think he's just being politically correct. Cocaine made him better

Drugs or not he was simply magic
