Argentine 1980s soccer star Diego Maradona was admitted at 10:07 local time (13:07 GMT) Friday in the Los Arcos sanatorium, located in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires.

The soccer player was transferred Friday to Los Arcos hospital after spending some hours earlier in Madre Teresa de Calcuta hospital in the Ezeiza locality where he had been interned Friday at 5:00 local time due to strong stomach pains.

Earlier news said Maradona would be transferred to the Suizo Argentina Clinic, but he was finally interned in Los Arcos sanatorium, also owned by Swiss Medical, the social work Maradona has.

The doctors who attend Maradona said his life is not in danger.

Meanwhile Argentina's Health Minister Gines Gonzalez Garcvia said Friday in declarations to Radio 10 the way the doctors responsible for Maradona handle his case "awfully."

"This is not a joke, a decision on his future and his health has to be made" because this "cannot continue as is," added Gonzalez.

Gonzalez compared the situation with a storm and "one were on his way ... without a pilot, there is no direction."
