Barkley taking leave of absence from his TV job
Charles Barkley is taking a leave of absence from the broadcast booth. Turner Sports made the announcement today, hours after police said Barkley—an analyst for the TNT network and a former NBA star—was legally drunk when he was arrested Dec. 31 on suspicion of drunken driving in Scottsdale, Ariz. Test results show Barkley, 45, had a blood-alcohol level at .149, nearly twice the legal limit of .08 in Arizona.
