“I was 24 when I started taking drugs. I was at Barcelona,” he told Canale 5. “It was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life.
My daughter asked me to live for her while I was in a coma. I thank God because he listened to her and woke me up.”
When asked whether money, women or drugs posed the biggest problem throughout a colourful and controversial career, Maradona was unequivocal.
Drugs were the biggest problem – drugs kill.
“I’m very fortunate to be here speaking to you. If I had continued I would have died. No doubt.
“I haven’t taken drugs in 13 years now and I feel great.”
