Barkley's DUI Means He's MIA From TNT
It was only a matter of time until Charles Barkley's DUI arrest had serious repercussions for the NBA star.
Barkley will take a leave of absence from TNT for a minimum of several weeks with no return date set, a source told the AP. David Levy, president of TNT Sports, released a statement that reads in part, "When I spoke with Charles, he was apologetic for the events that transpired and it was obvious he understands the significance of the situation. This is an important time for Charles as he deals with the legal and personal issues that confront him. Charles is a valued part of the Turner Sports organization and we are concerned for his well-being."
It was revealed today Barkley had a blood alcohol level of .149 -- nearly twice the legal limit in Arizona.
