Last week, Derrick Rose testified during his rape trial that NBA players were told to take home condoms after sex if they couldn’t flush them.
“In my profession they teach us to make sure you get the condom if you can’t flush it… It’s kind of normal with my profession,” Rose, who is accused of raping a woman along with two other men, testified, going on to say that he took the used condom and put it back in its wrapper before pocketing it.

He said that he went through “classes on sex” during the NBA’s “Rookie Transition Program” in Orlando, Florida.
He then went on to say, “This girl wasn’t someone I was going to introduce to my family or my mom… No way I was going to leave a condom anywhere around her apartment. I was trained to do it.”
When the woman’s attorney accused him of trying to destroy evidence and questioned him on why he had pocketed the condom instead of flushing it like his co-defendants, Rose claimed that he had been trying to be chivalrous and didn’t know where the bathroom was: “It was probably in my pocket because I didn’t want to be disrespectful.”
Rose went on to describe the night out with the woman, identified only as a Jane Doe, saying that she was the one calling the shots that night and had told the three men to come into the bedroom “one at a time.”
“A night out in L.A.,” Rose said. “Waking up in the morning, receiving a text saying she was horny…telling me to come get me from my house having sex with Randall and telling us to come into the room ‘one at a time’ — yeah that’s an L.A. night.”
