Lamar Odom used fake penis to pass drug test for Olympics, report says

Retired NBA All-Star Lamar Odom used a fake penis to pass a drug test ahead of the 2004 Olympics, he wrote in a forthcoming memoir, according to People.

Odom reportedly wrote that, after making the team, USA Basketball gave him a few days’ notice that he would be tested.

“There was absolutely no way I was going to pass,” Odom wrote, according to the report. “I’d been smoking weed every day that summer. Panic set in.

“We started googling ‘fake penises’ and studied different ways to beat a drug test.
