Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has told the media in his home country, that he and his team-mates will no longer grant interviews, after a journalist claimed Ezequiel Lavezzi was dropped, because he was caught smoking cannabis at the team’s training camp.

  Lavezzi did not make the squad, who beat Colombia 3-0 in a 2018 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday and reporter Gabriel Anello tweeted that it was because the player was caught with intoxicants.

“Lavezzi is left off the substitutes’ bench tomorrow because of the joint that was smoked last night in the camp? I’m asking… just asking.” Anello said on Twitter.
