No one has tried to justify an allagation. Just corrrected your point that the only allagation against him, is a smell of drink. That is not correct.
The second test wont be know to anyone, so it can't be made public. It is usually(Although does not have to be) a blood test, that takes time to have anaylised. It may be that if he opted for blood to be tested, his own sample will have been anaylised faster.
As to the press, they do the same thing with these cases they do with drivers, MOST drivers invloved in drink drive incidents are not drunk, far from it, just the same all, so far, of the pilots invloved in recent court cases have not been. It's life, you don't believe most of what you read in the papers, credit the population with some inteligence, nor do many of them.
On the security warning the pilot of any intention to call Police, maybe they should have in the minds of some. Then again, read some of the comments made about them on this site, frankly, if I was in thier shoes, and was treated to the contempt shown by some 'proffessional' crew on here, I'd not be inclined to help one out either.
