| Report: Lamar Odom arrested for DUI,[url=http://www.trueireligion.com]True Religion Outlet Store[/url]
Lamar Odom — whose own agent admitted he was dealing with drug issues — was arrested early Friday morning (late Thursday night) for driving under the influence.Of course, TMZ had the news first.The bust occurred in the San Fernando Valley at 3:54 AM. Lamar who was driving a white Mercedes SUV was popped by the California Highway Patrol and taken to a nearby station, where he was booked and is being held on $15,000 bail.He was pulled over on the 101 Freeway for going too slow 50 MPH. Cops say Odom had been driving in a serpentine manner.Odom failed “numerous” field sobriety tests and refused to take a chemical test.Odom’s agent admitted that his client was trying to get help for a drug problem, which he would not identify. TMZ had reported this drug issue had gone on for a couple years, though the past two seasons he did not fail any league drug tests. That said, the issue seems serious just by recent behavior including the apparent falling apart of his marriage (while there are all kinds of rumors we’re slow to believe everything TMZ or the tabloids write about Odom, especially without proof).Odom passed every league drug test last season when playing for the Clippers, that would be four tests randomly spread through the season. (At least we know he didn't test positive for harder drugs. In the NBA, the first two times a player tests positive for marijuana use he is sent to counseling and rehab, but the third positive test results in a five-game suspension. However, suspensions start immediately for harder drugs.) After the fourth test if a team suspects an issue it can demand more tests. I'm not going into a longer diatribe about drugs in the NBA right now, Tom Ziller covered that well already.In Odom's case,[url=http://www.hotyoupro.com]The north face jackets clearance[/url], clearly something is going on. Which is too bad, because I like Odom, a guy who can be very funny and genuine.There had been an Internet report that the Lakers promised Odom a roster spot if he immediately checked into rehab. That is not true, there has been no meeting or discussion along those lines. Right now there are no teams going to step forward and take a chance on Odom and he will have a lot of hoops to jump through to get back in the league.Whatever happens, we hope Odom can clean up his life and get back on his feet. |
