Drugs, cartels, mafia, addiction, the FBI, and coercion - this is the untold story behind the tragic decline of soccer''s most gifted and controversial legend.
Maradona was soccer''s ultimate genius - a magician on the pitch whose talent rivalled only Pelé. But off the field, the boy from the barrios of Buenos Aires became entangled in a dark web of criminal influence and personal demons. From the Cali Cartel''s attempts to lure him into the drug trade, to the Camorra''s grip on his life in Naples; from clashes with the Italian government to Pablo Escobar''s sinister hospitality, Maradona''s life was a battleground far beyond soccer.
Battling addiction, betrayal, and exploitation, Maradona''s story is one of genius corrupted - a man caught between adulation and self-destruction, whose medical neglect and FBI scrutiny culminated in a tragic end. Marking the 40th anniversary of Argentina''s legendary 1986 World Cup victory, Killing Maradona is a searing investigation into the forces that destroyed soccer''s first ''Golden Boy.''
