Oscar De La Hoya Interview: Retired Boxing Champ Reveals Addictions On Univision

-- Former boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya said thought about suicide and has been going to rehab because he has become dependent on drugs and alcohol in an interview with Spanish-language network Univision.

"Rock bottom was recently," De La Hoya said, according to an English-language transcript provided by the network. "Within couple of years, just thinking if my life was even worth it. I don't have the strength, I don't have the courage to take my own life but I was thinking about it."

"There were drugs, my drug of choice was cocaine and alcohol, hmm. Cocaine was recent. The last 2 years, last 2 1/2 years and I depended more in the alcohol than the cocaine," De La Hoya said. "It took me to a place where I felt safe, it took me to a place where I felt as if nobody can say anything to me, it took me to a place where I just can reach out and grab my mom."

His mom is deceased.

The Golden Gay Boy

Oh, bean. Silly boy! He's cute!

His troubles, however, are far from over. I wish him luck with his battle.







BTW, Oscar's family comes from our hometown... Guadalajara, Jalisco. Which also is the state with the most gay men in Mexico. Gorgeous men, I might add, including my siblings. But also home to the most beautiful women in the world! Crack myself up.
