Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is taking a leave of absence to seek help for
substance abuse amid reports that two new recordings one of unruly
behaviour, the other of apparent drug use have surfaced.
.
"I have decided to take a leave from campaigning and from my duties as
mayor to seek immediate help," Ford said in a statement released shortly
before 11 p.m. ET Wednesday.
.
"I have a problem with alcohol and the choices I have made while under the
influence. I have struggled with this for some time."
.
Later in the statement, the mayor said, "I know that I need professional
help."
.
Ford does not plan to drop out of the election, according to his lawyer,
Dennis Morris, who spoke to CBC News earlier in the evening.
.
Morris described the move as "an opportunity to step back, take a breath
and get help" for substance abuse.
.
The news comes amid reports that two new recordings of Ford have surfaced.
The Toronto Sun reported late Wednesday it had obtained a new and
"raunchy" audio recording of Ford "ranting and swearing" in a Toronto-area
bar on Monday night.
.
The Globe and Mail claims to have seen a second video, shot last weekend,
of Ford smoking what the paper said "a self-professed drug dealer"
described as crack cocaine.
.
The news comes amid a rocky re-election campaign in which Ford has
repeatedly described himself as a changed man who has learned from the
mistakes of his first term as mayor.

Mayor Rob Ford 'ready to take a break'

The decision to immediately step away from the campaign while staying on
the ballot came after the Toronto Sun exclusively obtained a new raunchy
audio recording of Ford ranting and swearing in an Etobicoke bar.
.
The Globe and Mail also published a report that a new video surfaced of
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking what has been described as crack-cocaine
early Saturday morning.
.
Ford told the Sun columnist Joe Warmington that he realizes its time and
that he wants to deal with his issues. He said he is being urged to not
leave the mayoral race by people around him.
.
The audio recording, covertly taped by a patron of Sullie Gormans Monday
night, captures the mayor being unruly as hes ordering booze at the Royal
York Rd. bar, complaining about his wife Renata and making lewd comments
about mayoral contender Karen Stintz.

A second video of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking what has been described
as crack cocaine by a self-professed drug dealer was secretly filmed in
his sisters basement early Saturday morning.
.
The clip, which was viewed by two Globe and Mail reporters, shows Mr. Ford
taking a drag from a long copper-coloured pipe, exhaling a cloud of smoke
and then frantically shaking his right hand. The footage is part of a
package of three videos that the drug dealer says he surreptitiously shot
around 1:15 a.m., and which he says he is now selling for at least six
figures.
.
The footage comes to light weeks after Mr. Ford embarked on a re-election
campaign styled on the importance of second chances and forgiving
mistakes. Nearly a year ago, the mayor thrust himself into worldwide
infamy when another drug dealer, Mohamed Siad, tried to sell another video
of the mayor allegedly smoking crack to media outlets in Canada and the
United States. At the time, the mayor denied using the drug, only to later
admit that he had smoked crack cocaine in a drunken stupor and said that
he was not an addict.
.
Since then Mr. Ford has been filmed numerous times in public appearing
erratic and acting impaired. In each instance, the mayor has admitted to
drinking, but never to using drugs. A few weeks ago when asked directly if
he was continuing to use drugs, Mr. Ford said: You guys ask stupid
questions.
.
Approached at City Hall Wednesday evening, Mr. Ford declined to respond to
questions about the video. Shortly after The Globe confronted Mr. Ford, he
issued a statement. "I have decided to take a leave from campaigning and
from my duties as Mayor to seek immediate help," he said.
