Judge has mercy on Diego

AFP, Buenos Aires
An Argentine judge overseeing Diego Maradona's drug rehabilitation Wednesday said the football great can travel
abroad for addiction treatment as long as it was to a site with a serious program.
Maradona, who is addicted to cocaine, has been undergoing rehabilitation therapy in a psychiatric hospital in a Buenos Aires suburb where he is held by court order.
Argentina's 43-year-old 1986 World Cup winning captain wants to continue his treatment abroad -- probably in Cuba, where he spent years, or Switzerland -- but does not have the legal right to do so.
Maradona was rushed to the Swiss-Argentina Clinic in Buenos Aires on April 18 with heart and lung problems and he nearly died while in intensive care. He left that clinic but returned shortly afterwards when his condition deteriorated. He has been in the psychiatric hospital since May 9.
"Maradona's health is the central issue," said Judge Norberto Garda Vedia at a news conference here. "Everything else is secondary."
Garcia made it clear that Maradona has to leave the psychiatric hospital and should be transfered to a rehab site "that operates as a closed community, in any country."
For months Maradona has been engaged in a battle with his ex-wife and daughters over where he should go next to treat his cocaine addiction.
Maradona wants to return to the rehab center in Cuba where he has lived since 2000, and after that Switzerland.
Maradona is supported by his personal doctor and two lawyers.
"If it's in Cuba, it'll be Cuba. If it's in Switzerland, it'll be Switzerland, there is no problem. The important thing is that (the rehab center) meets the necessary requirements," said Garcia.
But his former wife, Claudia
Villafane, and his daughters, Dalma and Giannina, are trying hard to send him to a rehab villa outside Buenos Aires.
Garcia said that, according to psichiatrists, the sports star's "ability to make choices has been altered and can be swayed easily, but he is not crazy."
Late Tuesday Maradona cried during a one-hour interview on national television, and pleaded to be allowed to travel to Cuba.
"I'm 43 years old and capable enough to decide I should do with my life," he said. "I've chosen my life. I haven't killed anyone."
Maradona, still heavily overweight, said in the interview that in Havana he can go anywhere peacefully. But in Argentina, "I go to the clinic door and I have a reporter there, while over there I don't have that kind of pressure."
Garcia has called a meeting Friday between Maradona's family and the football star's attorneys and doctor, which could decide where he would go.
