Pete Doherty 'Cheated On His Drug Tests'

Pete Doherty claims he used to cheat on his drugs tests, before his spell in prison last year.

Chatting to The Observer, the Babyshambles star also suggested he was jailed for arriving late at his probation meetings.

"It was the lateness. It doesn't matter so much whether you're still testing positive for drugs, the important thing is to turn up." Doherty explained.

"I was testing negative now and again, probably half the time. But that was only when I could find someone who had clean p**s for me to take in."

Then speaking on his time behind bars, Pete added it helped kicked his drug habit: "So in all honesty... yeah, Wormwood Scrubs... if you're in solitary confinement, it's the best rehab in the world, really."

Last week saw Pete Doherty release his first solo album 'Grace/Wastelands' and he's currently on a UK tour (buy tickets here).
