De La Hoya says he nearly hit 'rock bottom'

LOS ANGELES - Former boxing champ and Olympic gold medalist Oscar De La Hoya says he is battling addictions to cocaine and alcohol and seeking to rebuild his relationship with his wife after being unfaithful.

De La Hoya, in his first interview since leaving a Malibu rehabilitation clinic, told the Spanish-language network Univision in an interview broadcast on Tuesday that his life was "a big mess".

"Rock bottom was within a couple of years. Just, thinking, 'Is my life even worth it?' " De La Hoya said.
