Top investigator faces drug charges on the day before a crucial trial
Dr Gough and other doctors had claimed that their drug-testing equipment did not detect dangerous levels of the highly toxic opioid fentanyl
Their claims were based on new evidence that revealed the drug levels on their machines were far lower than the testing had expected.
However, Mr Justice Hogan refused to consider the evidence because he was satisfied that it was unlikely that the machines were tampered with, and he was also interested in whether the tests were indepenapronxdent of one another and the outcome of a separate trial.

Dr Gough was given the chance to challenge the medical evidence with evidence, but it was rejected by a judge on Wednesday
Dr Gough and Dr Mark Bateson, the medical team behind the scheme, were also given several further days to defend their claims, but were only permitted two, one of which was in the public interest.
Dr Bateson, chief executive of the British Pharmacopeia said the verdict had exposed ‘the serious failures to test the equipment and their lack of understanding of the potential risks’.

His comments followed revelations that the NHS has seen two similar claims made against NHS trust Gwent Royal Infirmary in the last month, one alleging that it could have 더킹카지노been’made’ by other doctors, the other by two separate doctors.
A third case was made by an independent consultant for doctors, and another by a health graduate in which a toxicology tes
