NSW: Six cadets test positive to drugs, says report
Six of nine army cadets embroiled in a drug scandal at Canberra's Duntroon Military
College are believed to have tested positive to drugs.
The Daily Telegraph newspaper says the cadets returned positive results after urine
tests at the college yesterday.
It says three cadets confessed to using speed and ecstasy after being dobbed in by
fellow students.
The newspaper says the other six say they're innocent but at least six will face disciplinary
action.
A second round of testing has begun, the results of which will be sent to Army chief
Lieutenant-General PETER LEAHY today.
The scandal has rocked the elite military college.
The Australian Defence Force has a zero-tolerance policy on drugs and those cadets
found to have used drugs could be expelled from the army.
Military police raided cadets' rooms on Monday in the latest drugs scandal to rock
the army and the third this year.
