Despite his post-retirement battles with addiction, his past achievements on the field remain legendary.

Article Body:
Diego Maradona's recent challenges should remind us of his glorious past as one of football's all-time greats. Following retirement, Maradona faced significant hurdles with alcohol and drugs, especially highlighted during the 1994 World Cup with his notorious goal celebration and subsequent positive test for Ephedrine. Prior to the World Cup, back in 1991, Maradona, then playing for Napoli, was banned for 15 months after failing a drug test.
In March 2007, Maradona was hospitalized in Buenos Aires amid concerns about a possible suicide attempt, which doctors denied, attributing his condition to acute hepatitis from alcohol abuse. Although reportedly admitted against his wishes, he is now adhering to medical advice. This situation evokes memories of another troubled football genius, George Best, who tragically lost his battle with addiction.
Maradona's troubles post-football continue. After brief, unsuccessful coaching stints with Deportivo Mandiyu and Racing in Argentina, he made a brief return to play before retiring in 1997 following another failed drug test. He has since fought cocaine addiction and underwent stomach stapling in 2005 to manage his weight. While it seemed he was improving and even playing again, recent reports suggested he considered a Swiss slimming clinic visit, and Argentine authorities are looking into his financial dealings.
The decline from athletic peak can be challenging. Athletes, who once had the world at their feet, often struggle with the void left by the end of their careers. Some find fulfillment in other sports-related roles, but losing something they cherished can be profoundly difficult to accept.
Maradona's life reminds us of the fine line separating genius and personal turmoil, underscoring the need for support systems for professional athletes as they navigate life beyond the spotlight.
