Recently, on Facebook, a document from the medical station of Flight 919 dated April 27 was circulated, reporting on the drug test of pilot PHD.
Accordingly, the medical station coordinated with the A321 flight crew to take pilot D. to the Medlatec office in Long Bien district, Hanoi for a specialized drug test. On April 26, Medlatec Hospital returned the test results showing that ketamine was found.
The pilot presented two painkillers he was taking (without a prescription). However, the active ingredient in the painkillers does not have the same composition as ketamine, and does not form ketamine when metabolized in the body.
