Maradona, 57, appeared to require assistance when leaving his seat in a video posted by Mexican journalist Fernando Schwartz.
The video had a lot of people concerned over Maradona’s health forcing him to speak about it in Telesur’s ‘De La Mano del 10’ programme.
“I was shocked that (reports suggested) there had been a stretcher, an ambulance,” Maradona says.
“Nothing happened.
“We were all together, the Telesur team and my team, and we could not believe how social networks started to make a big lie, which made no sense, go viral like that.
It makes me a bit angry, because my sister, yesterday she made me whistle on the phone to see if I was okay, and I went (whistles).
‘What else do you want me to do?’ I asked her.
My brother in Italy, my nephew in the United States were worried because of course, the bad news travels much faster than the good news.
I am very much alive, and very well taken care of.”
There you have it folks, Maradona, in his own words is “very much alive”
