[Husker] Solich email

[Jeff Volk]

"The "Frank Solich was drugged" story came out shortly after the story
broke last year; I believe it may have started at Huskerpedia, and was
discussed on Ohio message boards."


While people who have taken or been dosed with GHB do appear and react
similarly to those suspected of alcohol related DUI, the presence of GHB
in your blood stream will not create a false test for blood alcohol
level. According to the US Department of Justice Website, some law
enforcement agencies, including Pinellas, FL actually administer GHB
tests in addition to BAC tests for suspected DUI offenders and in 2000
only approximately 8% of those suspected of DUI were actually under the
influence of GHB and not alcohol.

Unfortunately we don't know what Frank's BAC was or wasn't because he
refused a field sobriety test. 

So, my question to all of the conspiracy theorists is why, if he really
thought he had been drugged and wasn't drunk to the point of passing
out, would Frank refuse to take a breathalizer or a blood test that
would then prove his innocence, or at least the fact that he wasn't
drunk out of his skull? To me the very fact that he refused the
breathalizer shows guilt. 

As for his supposed drug test that proved he had been given GHB,
according to Project GHB, an educational website on GHB and the social
perils around it, no current drug panels (the list of drugs included in
a drug screening) include GHB, meaning he would have had to request a
test specifically for GHB for it to be found in his system. 

But for those that still can't believe a "koolaid drinker" like myself,
you might want to check out the link I am providing to the Athen's Ohio
local newspaper, which quotes employees of the bar that Frank was at for
4+ hours that night drinking margaritas and shots before being cut off
from further drinking, served coffee and then having a cab called for
him (which he refused). That doesn't sound like GHB to me - sounds like
being drunk.
