Looks like the IDF can't abstain from getting a little help from a friend called Coke:
According to data issued by the Military Police, although the number of investigations into drug abuse cases increased by 10 percent in 2006 compared to the previous year, a drop of 20 percent was noted in the number of indictment filed over drug abuse
But this week the Military Police was forced to deal with an embarrassing affair which involves an IDF officer with the rank of first lieutenant, a trained doctor, who served at a combat engineering battalion, following intelligence information received by the Military Police that the doctor was using dangerous drugs, including cocaine.
Upon the doctor return to Israel from a trip abroad several days ago, investigators arrived at his unit and asked him to take a urine test. The test findings revealed that traces of drugs were found in his blood.
"Traces of cocaine and grass were already identified in the initial test," a military source said.
In his defense, the miltary doctor's attorney stated that if there were drugs in his system that it was the result of "unconscious use."
Damn. I HATE when people slip coke into my rum.
