Yah, but has Leaf actually turned himself in yet??

No, he never turned himself in, but Canadian police have "intercepted" him while he was trying to come back to the states. He posted bond of $45k and waived extradition.

Ex-QB Leaf arrested at Blaine border, will face drug charges in Texas

ZOE FRALEY - THE BELLINGHAM HERALD

BELLINGHAM - Former Washington State University and NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf was arrested at the Peace Arch border crossing Wednesday, June 17, on Texas warrants for drug and burglary charges.

Leaf was attempting to enter the U.S. about 9 a.m. when Customs and Border Protection officials arrested him on the warrants from Randall County, Texas. He was intending to take a flight from Seattle to Texas to turn himself in, his attorneys said.

Leaf, 33, was booked into Whatcom County Jail and appeared in Superior Court Wednesday afternoon. He was represented by Bellingham attorney Jeffrey Lustick, who argued that Leaf was attempting to get to Seattle so he could fly back to Amarillo, Texas, and turn himself in.

Leaf, who was clad in green jail scrubs, socks and sandals, stayed quiet through much of the hearing, telling the judge "thank you" at the end.

Leaf allowed to return to Canada pending trial.

Excerpt:

Leaf entered a not-guilty plea in Amarillo, Tex., on June 19 and posted a $15,000 bond, with the court giving him permission to return to his home in Vancouver, B.C., according to Lustick.

Since when (and why) did Vancouver become his 'home'?

Wasn't he in rehab there? I would assume, if so, that he was allowed to go back to rehab if that were the case.
