DOHERTY WINNING BATTLE WITH DRUGS

PETE DOHERTY is winning his battle with drugs so he can reunite with ex-lover KATE MOSS. But the singer's hopes rest on a knife edge after vital anti-addiction implants were seized by suspicious customs officers. Doherty's friend and literary agent PAUL ROUNDHILL says, "He is clean at the moment. It must be very hard for him. But he's done it for Kate. He wants to stay clean to get back with her. "He's having more implants put in because the last ones went terribly wrong. They went septic which is a very dangerous situation. "He was meant to get them a few days ago but customs saw the package with his name on it and thought they might be drugs being sent to them so broke the package open and sterilised it."
