    Loads of over the counter stuff is banned and if you are racing in the coming weekend you should ask the pharmacist as they would check for you.

    Sounds like bad luck for this driver.

    Wouldn't be the first time and it wont be the last. Not that any amount of drugs will help you go any faster :) Joking aside they have to do random tests in order to get funding.
    Off the top of my head, I can think of 4 "incidents" in the last few years. 2 ITCC cases with steroids, one kart driver for cannabis and one suspension for a dust-up with the tester.

    All testing is done by the Irish Sports Council, whose procedures have been scrutinised in detail by various athletes caught rapid and found to be robust so I can't see any "legal proceedings" being fruitful.

    As Henning Solberg said at a FIA meeting once 'Tell me what drug would beat Loeb and I will take it to see if I could beat him.'


    Loeb reportedly drinks 6 espressos & a back flip before he got into a rally car! Now detect that with a piss test.
