Gotta respect the United Arab Emirates for being strict on drug laws but Grooverider has to sit in prison for 4 years. Another dude had .003g stuck to the bottom of his shoe and he faces 4 years.
I don't think I will ever go to UAE now.

Oh Man, poor Grooverider. That is very harsh. He doesn't deserve that. I bet the government don't try and help him get home like they would if he was a teacher or an aid worker. They'll all look at it and think "Hmmm, at last, an excellent fable to drive the anti-drugs message home to the target audience" and they'll leave him sat over there for the duration of their "look what happened to grooverider" campaign.
- Thats probably what will happen and that sucks donkey balls... Just think of what he's done for the scene...YAYPaul

I heard you can't be visibly intoxicated over there on the street.

It sucks, but when you're in another country you gotta play by their rules.
Dude couldn't hold out a few days to blaze one up?

Nice to see the middle east is just as racist as everywhere else. I guess suspicious = black.
for sikma - fancy machines:
"Customs authorities are using highly sensitive new equipment to conduct extremely thorough searches on travellers and if they find any amount - no matter how minute - it will be enough to attract a mandatory four-year prison sentence."
Mrs Wolthuizen added: "We even have reports of the imprisonment of a Swiss man for 'possession' of three poppy seeds on his clothing after he ate a bread roll at Heathrow.
Cat Le-Huy
Held: A campaign is underway to secure the release of Cat Le-Huy from a Dubai jail
"What many travellers may not realise is that they can be deemed to be in possession of such banned substances if they can be detected in their urine or bloodstream, or even in tiny, trace amounts on their person."

woah, that totally sucks AND blows both balls AND ass..
poor guy..
We had him play at our clubnight back in 91, and it's been great to see him still cutting it these years later..
Stupid stupid mistake - why do these places think they can just ride roughshod over people's rights to genuinely make a mistake..
If you're not allowed to have the stuff, which is fine and up to them, then just take it away, theres no need to police the fucking world.
Cunts.

AND....99% of bank notes, of which the uae has mountains of, are contaminated with cocaine, so they're all fucking guilty including the people that arrested and tried him.
Fucking fucking cunts.- New World Order...knocking on our doors one day in the not so distant future.rtr

nice way to promote culture. tolerance is necessary to let cultural initiatives and creativity (and thus boost innovation and economy) florish, as many modern economies acknowledge.
the UAE, like most countries in that region, despite their crystal clear architecture and western ambitions, are still at least a century behind on the rest of the western world.

it'd be rad if/ when he returns to the DJing, he drops the occasional Chase theme:
- actually it'd almost be criminal if he didn't capitalize on this.horton

isn't there some way to go through a human rights organizations or something? I find it hard to believe countries can let this happen to citizens and just be like "ah well it's their law".

Who needs drugs when they have indoor oceans and ski resorts? But seriously, that's fucked up.
