Lamar Odom Gets Charged with DUI

By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

NBA player Lamar Odom has had a rough several weeks considering his marriage to Khloe Kardashian is reportedly falling apart, and those close to the Kardashian claim that despite him being involved with numerous affairs, the biggest problem is his alleged substance abuse issue. Numerous reports suggest the professional athlete is addicted to smoking crack, while some reports claim he also has an alleged addiction to prescription pills and others have cited c*caine. Regardless of what the reports are claiming, Lamar recently broke his silence for the first time since the reports began to spread and he denied that he has a drug problem.

Although Lamar doesn’t seem to think he has a substance abuse issue and he thinks “life is good,” those in the NBA think otherwise and they believe Lamar may not get another shot in the NBA. In fact, a general manager in the league said flat-out that Lamar’s career is finished and he said the last straw was the athlete’s recent DUI arrest.

Just a couple of days after a third woman has decided to come forward and claims she had an affair with the married basketball player, it’s now being reported by TMZ that he was officially charged with DUI for his recent arrest.

The site claims Lamar was charged with one count of DUI, and considering he refused to take a blood alcohol test after failing numerous sobriety tests, his driver’s license was automatically suspended for a year. But since it’s the first time Lamar has ever been charged with DUI, he’ll probably get probation and be required to complete an alcohol education course. It’s expected his case will be plea bargained.
