Sarah Palin hit by cocaine intake and fling-before-wedlock allegations

London, Sept 15 (ANI): Former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin has been hit by allegations that she was involved in a fling with a basketball player just before her marriage and that she resorted to cocaine while out snowmobiling.

'The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin', a book by author Joe McGinniss, which is due to be published next week, will reportedly be containing the controversial remarks.

The allegations about the former Republican Vice-Presidential candidate were originally published in the National Enquirer, which quoted publishing sources close to the book, reports the Telegraph.

The book is also believed to claim that she took marijuana while a student and had an illegitimate affair with her husband Todd's business partner. (ANI)
