per ESPN:
Argentina great Diego Maradona has been sedated by doctors to help him cope with withdrawal symptoms from alcohol dependency, a member of his medical team said on Friday.
Alfredo Cahe said Maradona, who underwent emergency surgery on Tuesday for a subdural hematoma -- a blood clot on the brain -- had been sedated after suffering from "episodes of confusion" linked to withdrawal symptoms.
"He has to have treatment to stop drinking alcohol and all his family is in agreement that Diego as he is now is unmanageable," Cahe told TyC Sports in Argentina.
"We need to take the bull by the horns.
"He has liver problems, cardiovascular problems. It's not his brain on one hand, his liver on another, his stomach, it's a mix of things. We need to clean Diego up and then we'll see. He is still a complicated patient."
