‘Remorseful’ Rodman in rehab for alcoholism

Dennis Rodman has checked into an undisclosed alcohol rehabilitation centre to treat his long-time struggle with alcoholism, his agent says.

Darren Prince declined to say which facility will treat Rodman and how long he will be there. Rodman recently returned to the US from his latest trip to North Korea.

He later apologised for comments he made in North Korea about a detained American missionary, saying he had been drinking and was under pressure as he organised an exhibition game there. He also sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un at the start of the friendly game.
