MARADONA 'STABLE'

LATEST: Argentine soccer legend DIEGO MARADONA's condition is "clinically stable" according to the hospital he was readmitted to on Friday (12Apr07). The star was reportedly fighting for his life and suffering excruciating stomach pains at the Guemes hospital in Buenos Aires, just two days after ending a 13-day hospital detox there. However, a spokesperson for the Los Arcos clinic said in a statement, "Twenty-four hours after his hospitaliSation, Diego Maradona no longer exhibits the symptoms which led to his admittance." However, he added Maradona's "hospitalisation will continue so that doctors can manage and monitor his progress". The sports ace, 46, has fought cocaine addiction, alcohol abuse and obesity since retiring from the sport 10 years ago.
