Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who admits smoking crack cocaine, faced new allegations in police documents released Tuesday that he brought prostitutes to his office, guzzled vodka in his car and made a racial slur to a taxi driver.
The allegations, part of documents released by an Ontario court, were made in interviews between police and former Ford staff members. None of the allegations have been proven in court and police have said there isn't enough evidence to warrant charges against the mayor.
The release was made the same day that Ford said for the first time he had bought illegal drugs within the past two years. Ford made the statement amid questioning at a City Hall meeting in which a majority of city councilors passed a nonbinding motion asking him to take a leave of absence to address his "personal issues." Ford has refused to resign.
