Embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has denied he is a drug addict as he returned to work amid calls for him to resign over drug use rumours.



Ford is under pressure after Canadian police revealed they had recovered a video appearing to show him smoking from a crack cocaine pipe.



In an interview, he said he was not a drug addict and called for police to release the video.



The Toronto Mayor said he would not resign and vowed to run for re-election next year.
