MEXICO CITY, Apr 09 (Reuters): Diego Maradona has been fined for dedicating a recent victory by his Mexican club to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Mexico's football federation said on Monday.
The Argentine great, who coaches Dorados de Sinaloa, had dedicated a 3-2 win over Tampico Madero to Maduro and Venezuela in a news conference at the end of last month.
The body said in a statement that Maradona had been fined an unspecified sum for violating the federation's code of ethics.
