*As you know if you’ve been follow recent reports on Lamar Odom, he has resorted to some of his old ways just eight months after he nearly died of a drug overdose. On top of that, it seems there’s one person who is basically holding the ex-NBAer back, for whatever reason.
According to Larry Brown Sports, Ron Dock, a certified addiction and recovery specialist who was called upon by Odom’s family for help. He explained on Monday what went wrong when Odom walked out of an intervention attempt in New York over the weekend.
“The main focus was going to be his son and daughter. I had them write letters and they were going to submit the letters to their father explaining their feelings about his behavior,” Dock told Derrick Bryson Taylor of Page Six. “It was all set in place until this negative energy came. For [his friend’s] own selfish motives, sabotage the intervention.”

Dock claims an unnamed friend who grew up with Odom intentionally thwarted the intervention attempt.
“I think some people want people around you to keep you sick so they can get what they want from you,” he said. “I believe this is the case here. I think this guy just kept us away from (Odom). He’s a very ugly person. If anything happens to Lamar, I would blame that energy right there.”
Dock runs two treatment facilities in Florida along with former MLB star Darryl Strawberry, who was ready to join the intervention via video chat. Odom never gave those close to him a chance to be heard.
As has been reported, Odom has been kicked out of the house his estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, was renting for him and was recently removed from an airplane for a disturbing reason.
It’s obvious that Odom is very much in need of help, and Dock said he hopes challenged athlete becomes open to receiving it “before he dies.”
