Lionel Messi announced a press boycott on Tuesday after a journalist alleged Messi's Argentina teammate Ezequiel Lavezzi used marijuana at the team's training base.

Standing in front of the entire national team at a post-match media conference following a 3-0 win over Colombia, Messi said the players would no longer speak to the press.

"We have made the decision not to talk to the press anymore, obviously you know why," the Argentina captain said.
