Long story short, he says in the final World Cup qualifier for the 94 world cup between Argentina and Australia, the Argies took performance enhancers before the match to help them keep up(presumably physically) and the guy who ordered them to do it is currently a FIFA vice president

Nice.

I dont believe a word that comes out of that mans mouth tbh!

Corrupt FIFA officials and Argentines taking performance enhancing drugs? Really surprising.

Well see what the vice Presidents response is if he does respond to it, logically he should since Maradona is also trying to sue him for defamation

Although id be pretty pissed if i was alive or at least saw those matches live back then i still gotta laugh at the fact that one of the best Argentinean teams in terms of individual talent needed performances enhances to beat an Australian team made up of 80% semi-professionals

Are we sure Messi is from Argentina? Let's see the birth certificate. The Obama birther controversy has been put to sleep. We need a new birther movement. I refuse to believe that somebody as humble and pure as Leo Messi came from such a deceitful, corrupt football system.

Grondona caused controversy in 2003 when, in response to a journalist's question about referee standards in Argentina, he said: "I do not believe a Jew can ever be a referee at this level. It's hard work and, you know, Jews don't like hard work."

How is this man in a position of seniority at FIFA?

Are you kidding me? How is he not the fucking president? He appears to be exactly the material FIFA are looking for these days.

Basically replace Jew with "English" and replace "a referee" with "anything" and that's FIFA.

Sounds like something Berlusconi would come out with.
