*Lamar Odom, knowing he was “dirty,” did what he had to do to make sure he secured a spot on the USA Basketball team for 2004 Summer Olympics.
Odom, a former NBA star is in the process of rehabbing his career and as part of that is telling the world about what was going on for him at the peak of his professional career.
In an excerpt from his new memoir, “Darkness to Light,” Odom shares with readers abouit the time he was offered a spot on the U.S. Men’s Olympic basketball team in 2004. He was so proud of his accomplishment that he describes it as “one of the biggest honors in my career.”
But you have to wonder how proud he can be when he goes on to admit that in order to be picked, he had to fake a urine test and details how he used a prosthetic penis in order to pass.

Check out this excerpt via People:
At the time, Odom was using drugs and knew that he wouldn’t pass an official test, which would disqualify him from competing at the Olympics in Athens, Greece.
“The joy of being named to the twelve-man roster quickly turned to anxiety when Olympic officials informed me that I would have to pass a drug test before officially joining the team.”
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.
“I unzipped my pants and carefully slid the fake penis through the zipper hole. To get the pee to come out of the tip, I had to squeeze the shaft repeatedly,” Odom writes.
Like we said, under the circumstances, dude did what he had to do. In fact, he ended up bringing home a bronze medal after appearing in eight games with Team USA.
BTW, in “Darkness to Light (out on May 28),” as we reported earlier, Odom also opens up about sleeping with over 2,000 different women, how he regrets cheating on his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian, details about the night before his near fatal drug overdose, and more.
