Oscar De La Hoya checked himself into rehab voluntarily and tells TMZ he feels he will come out "a stronger, healthier person."
As TMZ first reported, De La Hoya entered a rehab facility in California sometime within the last few weeks. We're told De La Hoya is seeking help for substance abuse issues. A source close to the boxing legend tells us he has "voluntarily commenced proactive treatment to address certain health and personal issues."
De La Hoya issued a statement to TMZ that reads, "After doing an honest evaluation of myself, I recognize that there are certain issues that I need to work on. Like everyone, I have my flaws, and I do not want to be one of those people that is afraid to admit and address those flaws.
"Throughout my career and my life, I have always met all challenges head-on, and this is no different. I am confident that with the support of my family and friends, I will become a stronger, healthier person.
"I ask for respect and privacy as my family and I go through this process."

If sense were common everyone would have it.:
Well, all JC Penneys are putting Sephoras in the middle of their stores. That might make him fell better...
Forget rehab Oscar, just drink some tiger blood and get yourself a couple of goddesses and the problem will instantly disappear.

Correction last post: "feel" better.
U have flaws? We already knew that Oscar. You knocked up that bimbo Shanna Moakler chick back in the day.
He's getting treatment, which is more than many other folks. Can we stop bashing him now?
If you were meeting all challenges head-on you wouldn't have had time for that crap. So don't tell us how tough you are. Tough people don't do drugs. Only the weak ones.
Darn kids-we need to spend more time and resources teaching them to think more and to stay away from stupid stuff that is harmful to them...
And his attorneys all ganged up on the FIRST mother of his children. Yep. Oscar's got some flaws alright, but media seldom gets it right.
