Maradona Arrested
DIEGO MARADONA, suspended from soccer earlier this month for using cocaine, was arrested yesterday on charges of possession of a half-kilo of the drug.
Two other men were also arrested at an apartment in the Buenos Aires suburb of Caballito, local news agencies reported.
Maradona, 30 years old, was suspended by the Italian League on March 29 after a sample of his urine taken after a match March 17 tested positive for cocaine.
Two weeks ago, the Italian League formally suspended Maradona for 15 months, a ban that was extended worldwide by the Federation Internationale de Football Association, soccer's governing body. (AP)
