Andersonian library tested positive for cocaine during exams

Naughty sniffers have been snorting cocaine in the uni library, The Tab can exclusively reveal.

The Tab took to Strathclyde campus to test for cocaine through exam season.

The swabs used are coated in a reactive chemical which turns blue when in contact with cocaine. They are 95 per cent accurate in detecting the class A drug.

We tested the Barony and Yard toilets in the Union and the loos on the silent levels four and five of the Andersonian library.

First up, we tested the Union.

Surprisingly, barely any traces were found in The Yard or Barony Bar loos. Neither the sinks or toilets picked up any traces of cocaine.

Then again, the place was absolutely dead during exams.

The Andersonian, however, was a different story.

We headed to floors four and five, figuring that a few hours alone on the silent level is enough to drive anyone to the white stuff.

Every swab tested on floors, toilets and cisterns in the library loos were completely or almost completely covered in blue.

Ex-cop Dave Rigg who runs Crackdown Drug Testing gave us the swabs we used and confirmed they return positive for cocaine.

“Our swabs are designed to work at milligram levels of cocaine, so a substantial amount must have been present on the surface initially.”

I’m blue da ba dee da ba di

The presence of cocaine in the library but not the union implies a strange use of the drug for non-social snorting and it seems the pressure of finals got to some of you big time.

Don’t do drugs kids, but if you must, there are much better, and cheaper ones to concentrate and pull all-nighters.

A University of Strathclyde spokesman said: “We take our students’ health very seriously and are concerned at any suggestion of illegal substance misuse on campus.

“If students wish to receive health information, we would encourage them to contact our Student Health Service, which provides free, confidential support.”
