The Mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford said he smoked crack "probably a year ago" when he was in a "drunken stupor". He admits this months after being accused of all this during which he has refused to step down. The allegations that he had been caught on video smoking crack camp up in May. Ford initially insisted the video didn't exist and avoided the questions about whether he had ever smoked crack. He was finally forced to backtrack after police said recently they had obtained a copy of the video, which still has not been released publicly. He was quoted saying "Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine," he told reporters outside his office. "There have been times when I've been in a drunken stupor. That's why I want to see the tape. I want everyone in the city to see this tape. I don't even recall there being a tape or video. I want to see the state that I was in." He had previously apologized for his excessive drinking and other mistakes but will still not step down even with all the pressure he has of people saying he should. He had been avoiding the questions about if he had ever smoked crack until now.
