It’s not exactly shocking that Lamar Odom had cocaine in his system when he nearly died from an overdose at a Nevada brothel. Most of us assumed as much, but didn’t know for sure. Until now: News media and fans alike were only speculating about the cause of Odom’s twelve strokes before the newly-released toxicology report. That report could spell trouble for Lamar, too. TMZ is reporting that Odom tested positive for cocaine according to lab results that were just turned over to law enforcement today. Nye County sheriff Sharon Wehrly previously said she plans to prosecute if there is evidence that Lamar was using illegal drugs on the night he OD’d. Yes, you may not expect it from the state that’s home Sin City and legal prostitution, but Nevada has some pretty tough drug laws. As a result, the 35-year-old athlete may find himself forced to go before a judge once he’s able to leave a Los Angeles hospital.

While cocaine possession can carry 1-4 year sentence, first-time offenders like Lamar usually get off with counseling and probation. We don’t think the authorities need to worry about the former NBA star using again after cheating death and facing months of rehab. Not only has he already learned a hard lesson, Odom knows that Khloe Kardashian will leave him if he gets mixed up in drugs again. The couple called off their divorce, which needed only a judge’s signature to be final, after he swore he would stay clean for good. Time will tell.
