Born again Maradona

Afp, Buenos Aires
A year ago, Diego Maradona was said to be near to a drug-induced death as a tarnished football legend.
Argentines may suspect the "Hand of God" helped, but Maradona is back to his old larger-than-life self, meeting Fidel Castro as the star of his own television show and as an unlikely opponent of globalization, haranguing US President George W. Bush.
Confirmation of Maradona's return to near respectability was sealed this week when Argentine Football Association president Julio Grondona asked him to help run the national team as they prepared to play arch-rivals England on Saturday.
"I don't think it's the best moment to join the team," was Maradona's reply, carefully avoiding reported rivalry with the national coach Jose Pekerman.
Maradona still has plenty to do however after his remarkable turnaround.
Twelve months ago, the man who led Argentina to World Cup glory was in drug rehabilitation, his weight having ballooned after years of cocaine and alcohol abuse. Newspapers were preparing Maradona obituaries.
But Maradona completed his clinic treatment in Cuba, had his stomach stapled to slim down and has just completed the first season of his new television series "La Noche del 10" (The Night of 10) named after the number on his Argentine football shirt.
It started with Brazilian football icon Pele as a guest and ended this week with fallen US boxing idol Mike Tyson as well as the second part of an interview with Cuba's communist leader.
At last week's Summit of the Americas in the Argentine city of Mar del Plata, Maradona drew almost as many headlines as the leaders when he led protests against the summit and appeared with Venezuela's firebrand leader, Hugo Chavez, at a mass rally to denounce the US president.
Maradona called Bush "human rubbish".
His tactics exasperated the summit presidents, particularly Mexico's President Vicente Fox -- "he has a good foot for kicking, but he doesn't have a good brain for talking," Fox said -- but opponents gleefully observed the chaos from afar.
"Diego, you deserve a statue," Castro, the only leader from the continent not invited to the summit, said in his interview with Maradona.
Just as with the illicit 1986 goal against England, that he said was the "Hand of God", Maradona perfectly played the devil's advocate at the summit. He got on a train to Mar del Plata wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt and arrived wearing another declaring: "Stop Bush".
"I am proud to be an Argentine who can travel in this train to oppose the
human rubbish that Bush is," said Maradona.
Maradona's return has already sparked new interest in his life.
Bosnian director Emir Kusturica is making a fly-on-the-wall documentary about Maradona due out next year.
A host of other tributes have come
including a song by top French rock singer Manu Chao.
Maradona acknowledges that his rags-to-riches life has not been a model for younger fans but insists "the ball is not all dirty" and he has few regrets, especially that goal against England.
