Ex-NBA star Lamar Odom has revealed that he used a “fake penis” to pass a drug test during the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
In an excerpt of the memoir “Darkness to Light,” obtained by ="https://people.com/tv/lamar-odom-used-prosthetic-penis-pass-drug-test-2004-olympics/">People magazine<, the former husband of Khloe Kardashian admits that he had to purchase a prosthetic penis to pass a drug test in order to secure his place in the US Olympic basketball team.
"The joy of being named to the twelve-man roster quickly turned to anxiety when Olympic officials informed me that I would have to pass a drug test before officially joining the team," he said.
“There was no way I was going to pass.”
He further revealed that he was "smoking weed every day that summer," then began googlling for a solution.
“I had been smoking weed every day that summer. Panic set in,” he wrote in his new memoir.
"After an exhaustive search, we ordered a giant rubber black cock to arrive the next day."
At test time, he asked his trainer to donate a clean urine sample, filled the prosthetic, and used it to fake-pee into a cup as a NBA security official watched, he admitted.
The former LA Lakers star continued: "I carefully slid the fake penis through the zipper hole. To get the pee to come out of the tip, I had to squeeze the shaft repeatedly.
"The NBA official who did the test stuck a thermometer in the cup to gauge the temperature and, satisfied that the pee was mine, said 'welcome to Team USA."
The 39-year-old also cheated death in 2015 after he was found unconscious at the Love Branch brothel near Las Vegas during a five-day sex-and-drug binge.
