Toilet water, juice or the urine of a comrade - a trial at the Klagenfurt provincial court brings to light all the things conscripts come up with for fake drug tests. And the gang of snobs from Lake Wörthersee, who are languishing in prison after a mega-fraud, also spring another surprise!

The figures are sobering: fears that up to 15 percent of Austrian soldiers have a drug problem were already circulating years ago following a parliamentary inquiry. For this reason, urine tests are regularly carried out in the barracks to check the fitness for duty of those serving in the armed forces. This can even lead to criminal proceedings!
