David Lee Roth Says Story About Ontario Cops Saving His Life Is Nuts

David Lee Roth says the story two Ontario police officers told Canadian reporters this week about having saved the singer's life last month is untrue. Though the cops alleged that they pulled the Van Halen frontman over for speeding in Oakland, Ontario, Roth is calling bull hockey on their claim that they called an ambulance to rescue Roth while he was having a severe allergic reaction to nuts.

"I was in only from July 1st through the 4th with a performance at the Quebec City Summer Festival," Roth told TMZ. "I had no encounters or incidents with the police. The only thing I'm allergic to is criticism."

So much for the law-enforcement claims that Diamond Dave went into anaphylactic shock from eating Blue Diamond nuts. And sorry, Sammy Hagar, looks like you're still out of VH.
