Argentina coach Diego Maradona has taken a new swipe at great rival Pele.

Maradona, who is currently working with Premiership stars Carlos Tevez (Manchester United) and Javier Mascherano (Liverpool), has claimed Pele lost his virginity to a man.

Maradona, 48, spoke out after the Brazilian football star branded him "a bad example" to youngsters for having taken drugs.

Asked about Pele's jibe, he replied: "What do you want me to say? He made his debut with a bloke."
