Toronto Mayor Rob Ford: 'I Do Not Use Crack Cocaine'

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford on Friday finally addressed the allegations, circulating since last week, that he was filmed smoking crack cocaine.

"There has been a serious accusation," the mayor said at an afternoon press conference from Toronto's city hall, reading from a prepared statement. "I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict of crack cocaine."
