Rock star Pete Doherty said last night he will again try to kick his drug addiction using a medical implant.

The Babyshambles singer was given a 12-month community order last week for drug possession after a fortnight in Pentonville Prison, London, and was ordered to start a rehab programme. He tried the method last year during his relationship with model Kate Moss, but returned to his heroin and crack abuse.
