Maradona Cleared to Resume Rehab in Cuba By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: September 6, 2004 Filed at 12:33 p.m. ET BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) -- Diego Maradona received permission from a judge Monday to return to Cuba and resume drug rehabilitation. The soccer great was expected to travel to Cuba with his father, a sister and personal physician for treatment at a Havana mental hospital, said Hector Leguizamon, a member of Maradona's legal team.

Maradona has been confined to a psychiatric hospital the last three months. He appealed to judicial authorities to travel to Cuba, where he underwent rehab for four years before going to Argentina this year. Maradona, 43, has been receiving treatment in Buenos Aires since early May after he twice was rushed to a clinic for heart and lung problems. An admitted cocaine addict, the former Argentina captain had been barred from leaving the country after family members sought an injunction to keep him from leaving without their consent. Judge Norberto Garcia Vedia said the family agreed to his request to seek treatment abroad as long as he was accompanied by a family member. Maradona has said he prefers treatment in Cuba because of greater privacy. Maradona led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title and 1990 final and retired in 1997. In 2000, FIFA chose him and Pele as the greatest players in soccer history 중간중간 껄끄러워서
