Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has admitted to smoking crack, saying Tuesday that he did it “probably a year ago” during a “drunken stupor.”
“Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine,” Ford said in a scrum with reporters outside his city hall office, according to CBC. “No I’m not an addict and no, I do not do drugs. I made mistakes in the past and all I can do is apologize, but it is what it is and I can’t change the past.”
The admission came after Ford dodged a direct question on the issue a day earlier during a radio talk show appearance about whether he has ever used crack cocaine. On Sunday, Ford apologized for “a lot of stupid things” and acknowledged the need to curb his drinking. . .
