team. Odom has been at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center since October 19, following a series of strokes he suffered on October 13 during a vacation at a Nevada brothel. The details of Lamar Odom's collapse are still hazy, but cocaine was reportedly found in his system when he was hospitalized. Allegedly, Odom raked up a $75,000 bill at the Love Ranch during his stay there, mostly for the services of two prostitutes. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Odom's recovery has prompted concerns that the former NBA star is in danger of relapsing into the drug addiction that apparently nearly killed him. On October 26, an unidentified man who claimed to be Odom's assistant attempted to visit. At the time, Odom remained in an intensive care unit, and security refused to let the unidentified man in Odom's room. Later, sources revealed that Odom's management team fired the man after Odom was hospitalized, because they believed he contributed to Odom's drug addiction. [Photo by Frederick M.
