Lamar Odom has lived quite a life and as he approaches his 40th this fall, he’ll do so having revealed a lot about his personal life via a new memoir. In the book Darkness To Light, Odom shares how he used a prosthetic penis to pass drug tests for the 2004 Summer Olympics as a member of the U.S. men’s basketball squad.
PEOPLE exclusively obtained the following excerpt from the book:
Then living in Los Angeles, Odom received a “call from USA Basketball that a drug tester would be coming to my house in a few days to administer the screening,” he writes. “There was absolutely no way I was going to pass. I’d been smoking weed every day that summer. Panic set in.”
So, Odom got creative.
“We started googling ‘fake penises’ and studied different ways to beat a drug test,” he writes. “After an exhaustive search we ordered a giant, rubber, black c— to arrive the next day.”
And when the official tester arrived at Odom’s home to administer the test, the NBA champion was prepared, recruiting his drug-free trainer “to urinate into the reservoir of the phallus, which was hidden in the balls,” he writes.
“He handed me the rubber penis and left the bathroom as I strapped it on,” Odom writes about his trainer.
The NBA security official then entered the bathroom and watched from two feet away as Odom squeezed out his trainer’s pee from the prosthetic.
PEOPLE also highlights portions of the book where Odom speaks about fouling up his marriage to Khloe Kardashian due to infidelity, drugs and his addiction to sex.
Darkness To Light hits shelves on May 28.

With the Red Bull-powered BC One All Star Tour 2019 rapidly approaching, legendary B-Boy and BC One All Star Richard ‘Crazy Legs” Colon sat down with TheSource.com to chop it up about the sixteenth year of the street culture-inspired tour as well as the athleticism of b-boying that has caught the attention of the International Olympic Committee. With the real possibility of “breaking” or b-boying being incorporated into the 2024 Olympics in Paris, the Rock Steady Crew co-founder’s insight is highly influential to the fans as well as well as the committee considering the groundbreaking move.
“Most importantly, my main concern is cultural appropriation and cultural sensitivity. Whoever has the opportunity to sit at that table and discuss how it will be 100% put into the Olympics, that those few people will represent a large body and it’s not just rogue people at the table representing their own agenda”, says the 53-year old Hip Hop pioneer about the Olympic possibilities. “Whatever happens at that table, has to be agreed upon by the larger body of the community and let those people know that what they’re trying to put into the Olympics is an art form. My thing is making sure that they have an ambassadorship program that reaches back into these lower income communities and make sure that there is an even playing field for those young brothers and sisters to have an opportunity and to get the inspiration to be able to compete. ”
Crazy Legs is also excited about the kick off of Red Bull’s annual BC One All Star Tour, which Legs often serves as one of the judges in the competitions. Entering its sixteenth year, the world-renowned breaking competition, Red Bull BC One, is pleased to announce the full schedule of programming for the upcoming Red Bull BC One All Star Tour. Spanning a full month of events the Red Bull BC One All Star Tour shines a light on the innovative street dance community that is flourishing throughout the nation. The multi-city tour includes competitions, electrifying workshops, and exhibition battles showcasing and celebrating the best in breaking talent across the country.
When asked about the likelihood of BC One competitors making it into the Olympics, Colon added, “The cool thing about BC One, and this also relates to the Olympics, although you have basketball in the Olympics, but the Olympics ain’t the NBA. ” He goes on to say, “It’s the same like the Olympics and Red Bull BC One. Great worldwide platform, great opportunities for people, but you’re still not BC One. Although it’s presented by Red Bull, it’s still a “for us, by us” situation, so you gotta respect that at the end of the day. After the Olympics and leading up to the Olympics, you got four years before and four years after. Let’s not forget what’s catering to us on a regular basis and BC One is a premiere platform and it helps these kids are able to build bridges between cultures, which is an amazing thing.”
Kicking off in Los Angeles on Thursday, April 25th, the Red Bull BC All Star One Tour provides a platform for the dance community to unite and celebrate. Breakers of all levels are encouraged to come out and partake in competitions that are sure to be unforgettable. Fans of every level can find events taking place in their cities via
the Red Bull BC One All Star Tour website. Additional Red Bull BC One All Star Tour stops include San Jose, Fresno, Orlando, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Houston, with select cities acting as host to competitive Cyphers and educational workshops.
The final stop of the Red Bull BC One All Star Tour will take place in Houston at Red Bull BC One Camp commencing with events on Friday, May 17th and concluding with the National B-Boy Championships and All Star Exhibition Battle on Sunday, May 19th.
