Charles Barkley is drunk when he was arrested and leave of absence from TNT

The test result for former NBA star Charles Barkley after he was arrested for DUI has been released.

Aside from his "sex defense", Arizona cops said that indeed Barkley is drunk and he has a blood-alcohol level of .149, almost twice the legal limit of .08 in that state.

Meanwhile, according to TMZ - Charles will take a leave of absence from TNT for a minimum of several weeks with no return date set.

Also David Levy, president of TNT Sports, released a statement (excerpt), "When I spoke with Charles, he was apologetic for the events that transpired and it was obvious he understands the significance of the situation. This is an important time for Charles as he deals with the legal and personal issues that confront him. Charles is a valued part of the Turner Sports organization and we are concerned for his well-being."
