Toronto mayor takes leave to enter rehab
Print Edition
TORONTO Mayor Rob Ford will take an immediate leave of absence to seek help for alcohol, he said, as a report surfaced about a second video of the mayor smoking what appears to be crack cocaine.
Ford also said he would take a leave from his campaign for re-election. The election is set for October 27.
“I have a problem with alcohol, and the choices I have made while under the influence. I have struggled with this for some time,” Ford said in statement late on Wednesday.
The Globe and Mail newspaper said it has viewed a second video of Ford smoking what appears to be crack cocaine in his sister’s basement. The national newspaper said two Globe reporters viewed the video from a self-professed drug dealer showing Ford taking a drag from a pipe early on Saturday morning.
The video is part “of a package of three videos the dealer said was surreptitiously filmed around 1:15am, and which he says he is now selling for ‘at least six figures,’” the daily said.
Ford did not address the reported video or make any reference to crack cocaine in his statement.
