Maradona admits cheating to beat England
Mon, August 20th 2007
In a bizarre mix of football and politics, Diego Maradona admitted cheating to beat England in the 1986 World Cup.
In an interview with Venezuelan president, Hugo Chávez, he says:
“It was too high for me and I stuck out my fist.
However, rather than cheating, it seems it was a statement in the fight against imperialism.
