Sharon Davidovich's article about Diego Maradona (Sports 1)
It is well known that Diego Maradona was responsible for quite a few scandals during his lifetime, but it turns out that even after his death, hallucinatory stories continue to float about the exploits of the legendary former footballer. Today (Tuesday) it was reported in Argentina that Maradona's partner was exposed during the time he lived in Cuba to recover from his drug addiction.
Mavis Albers, who was only 16 at the time, first told the media about her relationship with Maradona, who despite being a minor was considered legal on the island where the Argentine lived. According to the testimony of Albers, a friend of Diego's and one of the staff at the hotel where he was staying, she was contacted to come and host a friend: "For more than an hour they explained to me how important it is to help Diego, an international Cuban personality and depressed. ".
"At the hotel I was greeted by Guillermo Coppola, a friend of Maradona. At that moment I was very scared, because he only had a towel on him and I thought of the worst," Albers continued.
"A few minutes later he received me from Maradona. He talked to me a lot and made me feel safe. He liked me, never crossed the border. He invited me to dinner with my family a day later."

During about five years of rehabilitation in Cuba, Maradona managed a relationship with the girl and pampered her with restaurants, trips and parties: "I was a girl. I had no malice. He was a stranger, rich and chose me. I could not refuse him, it was It is a privilege to be his partner. "
The problems for her started when she agreed to Maradona's request to move in with him, and so Albers fell into the bad habits that the former footballer also suffered from: "Life with him was crazy. Parties, clubs. He would take me to eat. I never imagined I would fall for drugs. "
He was not a saint.

Ahead of the tribute game in his honor in November 2001, Maradona asked to join his Cuban partner for a trip to Argentina.
Due to the ban on any Cuban citizen leaving the country without special permission, Maradona intended to put Mavis Albers on a plane inside a large metal box: "I want you to make holes in it so she can breathe," Diego asked his aides, according to a report in Argentina.
Luckily for the girl, Maradona received permission from Fidel Castro, his good friend and ruler of Cuba at the time, so that his partner could accompany him to Argentina.
According to the Argentine media, the relationship between Albers and Maradona ended when another Cuban lover of the legendary actor, Adoni Protos, revealed in the media her relationship with Maradona.
