red bull and cocaine

In one of the articles I read on this (should've bookmarked), it said he was actually going to have to take a drug test before the high score would be officially certified. As I understand it, the Red Bull would be OK (along with coffee, etc.), but coke or amphetamine use, etc., would disqualify the score. At first I thought it odd that Twin Galaxies could require a drug test, but I guess they could have you do it on your dime if you want the score to be posted badly enough...

TheShanMan:

Yeah, afterward they realized the test kit they had was expired so someone went to the store to get a new one.

Havok:

Drug test? What kind of bullsh*t is that? Did they do it for the guys in the 80's? In fact, some of the 80's scores were just called in. If you're on coke I would think you wouldn't be able to play properly anyways. Give the guy his freaking plaque already!
