Never heard of this, so I looked it up.

"The Hand of God" (Spanish: La mano de Dios) is the name given to the opening goal awarded to Argentine footballer Diego Maradona during Argentina's victory over England in a quarter-final match at the 1986 FIFA World Cup. The goal was allowed to stand because none of the match referees could see Maradona using his left hand to score.

The Hand Of God

A man ahead of his times. The Canadian winter Olympics team clearly were not that original.

Did he also yell he didn't touch it?

Huh, I always thought he just gave it a little nudge as it was flying by or something, but nope, he really went for that...
