Argentina Home 1994-1997

At the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Maradona played in only two games (both at the Foxboro Stadium near Boston), scoring one goal against Greece. Before being sent home after failing a drug test for ephedrine doping. After scoring Argentina’s third goal against Greece. Maradona had one of the most remarkable World Cup goal celebrations as he ran towards one of the sideline cameras shouting with a distorted face and bulging eyes. In sheer elation of his return to international football. This turned out to be Maradona’s last international goal for Argentina. In the second game, a 2–1 victory over Nigeria which was to be his last game for Argentina. He set up both of his team’s goals on free kicks. The second an assist to Caniggia, in what were two very strong showings by the Argentine team.

In his autobiography, Maradona argued that the test result was due to his personal trainer. Giving him the energy drink Rip Fuel. His claim was that the U.S. version, unlike the Argentine one, contained the chemical and that, having run out of his Argentine dosage, his trainer unwittingly bought the U.S. formula. FIFA expelled him from USA ’94, and Argentina were subsequently eliminated in the round of 16 by Romania in Los Angeles. Having been a weaker team without Maradona, even with players like Gabriel Batistuta and Caniggia on the squad.

Maradona also separately claimed that he had an agreement with FIFA. On which the organization reneged, to allow him to use the drug for weight loss before the competition in order to be able to play. His failed drug test at the 1994 World Cup signalled the end of his international career. Which lasted 17 years and yielded 34 goals from 91 games. He won one winner’s medal and one runners-up medal in the World Cup.
