Coke cop says oral sex to blame for dirty test, but judge not buying it (Drug Test News)

A decorated ex-cop who claimed he tested positive for cocaine because he ingested the drug during oral sex with his girlfriend can't have his job back, a Manhattan judge has ruled.

Supreme Court Justice Eileen Rakower last month shot down helicopter pilot Jon Goldin's attempt to overturn his April 2008 dismissal from the NYPD.

Goldin, a 15-year veteran, tested positive for cocaine in October 2006 in a random drug test using hairs from his arm.

Goldin's lawsuit said the cocaine in his system was the product of "passive ingestion" from performing oral sex on girlfriend Coreen McCarthy, who, once he tested positive, admitted to him that she was a regular cocaine user.

"She never told [Goldin] about her drug use," court records say.

The couple met at a punk concert and, according to court records, they "would often sweat" while having sex.

Bull. Unless the girlfriend found a novel way way of doing the drug, He would be ingesting the metabolite and would process the metabolite. The metabolite does not last long in the system.

Grant it that testing can get down to levels that'll blow your mind (grin) but to catch it present in hair at a point in time says something about the guys habits.

It’s a pretty good lie. Even if you get fired, you will have no lack of dates for the rest of your life.

Fans of “Law and Order: Criminal Intent” will recall an episode in which a peculiarly female means of using cocaine and a batch of cocaine cut with dioxin figure prominently.

Given the officer’s claim, perhaps his girlfriend was an afficiando of that particular mode of administration.

Heh ... thought I recalled something like that. Wasn’t sure if the drug was cocaine or heroin, though ...

They took the hairs from his arm, not from his teeth.
