They make Jocks take breathalizer tests? Based on suspicion or a standard practice? Was he charged with R-W-I?

According to the DRF article:

For purposes of comparison, motor vehicle operators in Ontario face a charge of impaired driving if they blow over .08 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. A reading between .05 and .08 results in a roadside license suspension of three to seven days.

Hopefully he gets some help before he has a catastrophe on the track for him and/or anyone in a race with him, let alone a car with his kids in it.

every track does breathalizers either daily or on random checks. I remember hanging out in the river downs jock room before the races, and they have an outside agent who administers the test to ever jock who enters the room, every day, right when they walk in.

it's a standard practice

We all laughed about his appearance on ATR a few months ago, but maybe it wasn't so funny in retrospect.

Danzig 07-02-2010 02:48 PM
hell, if he was a pilot they'd have let him fly.
