Troubled Devil Rays outfielder Elijah Dukes admitted under oath Monday that he smokes marijuana.
After Dukes' estranged wife accused the ballplayer of doing the drug "on a daily basis," Hillsborough Circuit Judge Kevin Carey asked Dukes if he uses it.
"Yes, I do," said Dukes, 23.
Although Dukes is also facing a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge in criminal court, his admission came during a civil court proceeding related to his ongoing divorce.
The judge ordered that Dukes, who recently returned from a Houston psychiatric center, undergo random drug tests, pay his wife about $3,300 a month temporary alimony and pay child support for the couple's two children.
Rays officials declined to comment.
