No, that's what Bird is saying. In fact they're expressly saying he was drinking the night before. There was no ABV test done on him, so there's zero proof to their accusation. His blood showed levels of cannabis. However, if you've ever had to pee in cup you also know that cannabis shows up in blood/urine far after you've smoked or consumed.

They're trying to bash his reputation with utterly unprovable claims to make him seem like a degenerate (because, yea... who drinks and smokes weed in LA?). If he wins he can probably come after them for slander now too.

I hope he wins.

I hope city/Bird wins, him being irresponsible without helmet and riding illegally on sidewalk is not tax payers fault.

Too many people want Bird/City to loose just because they hate corps.

yes, metabolites show up for a long time in urine, making it useless for this sort of thing.

they don't stick around nearly as long in blood, and it is suitable (along with expert interpretation) for getting a sense of whether or not somebody recently high.

peeing in a cup does not give you insight into this.
