SAO PAULO, Brazil — (AP) Former Brazil captain Socrates is back in the hospital and on life support.
A hospital in Sao Paulo says the 57-year-old Socrates is suffering from septic shock resulting from an intestinal infection.
Socrates was last in the hospital in September. That was for a hemorrhage caused by high pressure in the vein that carries *la*hd from the digestive system to the liver.
Socrates has acknowledged being a heavy drinker, even when he starred as a player in the 1980s.
