Maradona's death caps difficult week

Maradona was a revered colourful character, whose larger-than-life personality continued to dominate the football world long after he hung up his boots. His death marked a testing last seven days for football, with depressing news. The tough week began with news that four national teams, including Botswana’s Young Zebras, had been sent home over age cheating allegations.

It was a new low for local football, which saw the Botswana Football Association suspend its chief executive officer, Mfolo Mfolo.
