"Maradona has successfully overcome his emergency.... and for this reason has been discharged," said a statement issued by the Suizo-Argentina clinic in Buenos Aires where Maradona was readmitted last Wednesday, one week after suddenly discharging himself. He has been transferred to an assistance center to receive special treatment. The statement did not say what the treatment was for and where he had gone but Argentine media quickly tracked him down to a clinic on the outskirts Buenos Aires where they said he would stay for drug rehabilitation.
