Rob Ford Admits Cocaine Use

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has admitted to using cocaine.

According to The Toronto Star, Ford has apologised, saying he is not an addict.

This comes after months of Ford denying drug use.

The scandal came to light last spring when a video of him smoking crack was reported on by The Star.

The police are now in possession of the video.

Ford says he plans to continue in office.
