BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - The doctor of Diego Maradona on Monday sought out the prosecutors who are investigating his treatment of the late Argentine football superstar before he died last week, but was turned away because he has not been charged with a crime.

The probe into Maradona's death prompted prosecutors to search the home and office of Dr. Leopoldo Luque on Sunday. They took medical files but did not charge him or say what prompted the investigation. Luque has since gone on a media offensive.
