A Video showing Diego Maradona making crude gestures on the team bus after his profanity-filled tirade on live television could complicate Argentina officials efforts to put the scandal behind them. The video shows Maradona gesturing gleefully at photographers and cameramen through the window as the team bus pulled away after the game,and is rapidly spreading on the Internet. Maradona already faces a possible five-game suspension and $19,700 fine if the FIFA disciplinary committee decides to sanction him for the comments he made to reporters after Argentinas 1-0 victory over Uruguay qualified the team for the World Cup. Maradonas repeated crude expletives,directed at his media critics in an official setting,prompted FIFA president Sepp Blatter to announce in Cairo that the association has no other alternative but to ask the disciplinary committee of FIFA to open a case against the coach Diego Armando Maradona. Support at home Maradona called it an outburst and said he had nothing to apologise for. And he quickly received support from Argentine Football Association president Julio Grondona,who also dismissed it as a momentary outburst and said that if it were another coach or player,the matter would not have had such importance. FIFAs disciplinary code says the suspension and fine should apply to any football figure who lowers himself through acts or words,to discriminate or insult a person or group of persons. in a way that undermines human dignity. Maradona,who led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title and the 1990 final,was under intense pressure during Argentinas stuttering qualifying campaign. Argentina lost 6-1 in Bolivia and 3-1 to Brazil at home,finishing fourth among South American teams. Grondona said the Argentine federation would meet on Tuesday over the matter. He declined to say whether he agreed with FIFAs decision to open a disciplinary case.
