Pete Doherty Cheated Drug Test

Pete Doherty

Pete Doherty has admitted to cheating on a drugs test prior to his recent imprisonment for breaching probation.

He added, though, that the certificate he obtained in prison confirming he was drug free was completely legitimate, and that he is now committed to staying clean. He said: "I can't go back to that. I don't think I've ever been healthier".

Doherty's Babyshambles bandmate Adam Ficek has also been talking about Pete's new drive. He told BBC 6music: "We drove up to his house and saw him and he was really on good form. He seemed really focused. He came out of there really knowing what he wanted to achieve and it was him that was calling for rehearsals. He was saying, 'Right we have got to rehearse every day, make a new song every day to get ready for the Forum'. So all respect to him for that. He's had some time to think in there and he's back on his game".

Although, Ficek did admit that the band are still concerned that Doherty might go back to drugs: "It is always a concern it will happen again. In his mind he always wants to stay focused and clean and free from all those problems but as anyone knows who has dealings with anyone who has addiction problems, it is sincere when they say that but there are times when they are going to fall. Unfortunately Peter is in the position where wherever he does fall people are in the position to take a photo or have a kick at him when he's on the floor. But his pledge is always to remain on the straight and narrow. It is up to us and the people around him to try and maintain that integrity and keep him on that good path".

Of course, Doherty may be off the hard stuff, but he's still on the ciggies, which isn't illegal, of course, unless you smoke one in a public building. Which he reportedly did. During his somewhat raucous 'I'm out of prison' gig at the London Forum yesterday. Lock him up again, that's what I say.
