Lionel Messi has revealed that Argentina's players will boycott media duties following accusations made against attacker Ezequiel Lavezzi.
Lavezzi is taking legal action after a journalist suggested he was left out of the squad because he had been smoking cannabis.
Messi inspired Argentina to a 3-0 World Cup qualifying win over Colombia on Tuesday with a stunning free kick and two assists.
Afterwards, the captain announced the players would no longer be speaking to the press.
"We have made the decision to not speak to the media anymore - obviously you know why," Messi said.
