• Rob Ford’s whereabouts are not known. Doug Ford would not comment on his brother's whereabouts.
• Doug Ford told the reporters "For the one-millionth time, Rob Ford is in a rehabilitation program,“
• He will not give his brother's location because the media will "stake it out."
The reason
• The reason that Rob Ford was denied access to the united states was that Rob Ford had a new video showing Rob Ford smoking what is alleged to be crack cocaine, and after the Toronto Sun obtained an audio recording of the mayor making racist, sexist and homophobic remarks, The major stepped aside – temporarily – to get help.
• “The bottom line is he’s in rehab, he’s getting rehab and he’ll be there for a number of weeks – and that’s the answer. It’s not like he’s at a baseball game in Los Angeles or something.”
