Australia: Man awaits further drink spiking test results

An 18-year-old victim of an alleged drink spiking last week at Robe, in south-east South Australia, has returned to his Naracoorte home after being released from Flinders Medical Centre yesterday.

Miles Pfitzner was rushed to Adelaide on Wednesday night after collapsing outside the Robe Hotel.

On Saturday, he told ABC news that he could prove it was his beer that was spiked, with initial tests ruling out heavy amphetamines.

He says he is now looking forward to receiving further results today which will prove his brush with death was not the result of drug use.

"I really do want to be cleared because there are a few chit chats about what's been happening and whether we took recreational drugs or not and that's sort of upset me a bit, and I just want to find out what it is for good and put it in the past and leave it all behind me," he said.
