Giants lineman admits addiction

Recently signed New York Giants offensive tackle Shane Olivea said Monday that he was addicted to painkillers while playing for the San Diego Chargers last season.

Olivea, 26, lost his starting job at right tackle in midseason and was eventually released in February, a move he said he asked the Chargers to make.

Olivea said that he did not confront his problem until his family intervened in April, about a week before the NFL Draft. He was treated at the Betty Ford Center in California and later signed by the Giants on July 10.
