After his retirement from the game, Maradona has endured a well-publicized battle with drug addiction and obesity. In 2005, he underwent stomach stapling surgery in Colombia and drug treatment in Cuba.
He appeared to be on the mend after the surgery and time spent in rehab, hosting a popular TV show in Argentina.
