for Maradona handle his case "is awful."
"This is not a joke, a decision on his future and his
health has to be made" because this "cannot continue as is", added Gonzalez.
Gonzalez compared the situation with a storm and "one
were on his way....without a pilot, there is no direction."

of Maradona's situation by the former soccer star's personal doctor Alfredo Cahe
