An Army Specialist stationed at Camp Humphreys tested positive for THC in a urinalysis test. Faced with the potential ramifications of this result, the Specialist retained Tim Bilecki for his defense.
Bilecki traveled to Korea to represent the Specialist at the administrative separation board. The defense strategy involved presenting a case for a false positive result. Bilecki’s team raised the Specialist’s use of ibuprofen and tramadol in challenging the interpretation of the urinalysis. The defense questioned the testing in this case; it did not establish that those medications universally cause a positive military drug test.
Tim challenged whether the test evidence established wrongful drug use. The board found no basis for misconduct and retained the Specialist.
