Mr Shanmugam, who is also Minister of Law, wrote in a Facebook post that the urine test results of the two swimmers were negative for drugs and therefore, the evidence against them was “inconclusive”.Mr Shanmugam added that Lim was also found to have a drug utensil in her possession, and she received a stern warning from the Central Narcotics Bureau under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
Mr Shanmugan also clarified in his post that Singapore does not place people in drug rehabilitation centres, or even give warnings, in the absence of a positive drug test result. The questions were in light of Tuesday’s announcement by the authorities that Schooling had confessed to the use of cannabis overseas in May, although his drug tests were negative.
