Q Is there any other way for benzoylecgonine to be in your body other than the use of cocaine?
A Benzoylecgonine is one of several metabolic products of cocaine. It is formed from the hydrolysis of cocaine and is a very specific marker for the presence of that drug. If, however, benzoylecgonine
is found in the urine, it is not evidence of illicit cocaine use.
There are at least two other ways that cocaine can get into a persons system. One way is from medical administration. Cocaine is a component of a topical anesthetic used by ear, nose, and throat specialists. These physicians should always tell their patients that they have used a cocaine-containing anesthetic and warn them that they could have a positive drug test for up to 48 hours after the use of the anesthetic.
Another, less obvious route of ingestion is drinking mate de coca, a coca leaf tea, which is also sold in health food stores as Health Inca tea. We reported a case in which a person drank some of the tea as part of a meal in a Bolivian restaurant in the United States. (1) The next day he had a positive drug screen. Although the imported tea is supposed to be de-cocainized, some may still contain cocaine in small amounts.

also.... Benzoylecgonine is one of the metabolites of cocaine. When you consume cocaine, the drug gets hydrolyzed. During the process of hydrolysis of cocaine within your body, benzoylecgonine is produced. Benzoylecgonine is the critical component whose presence is indicative of the intake of cocaine in a drug test. In spite of this fact its true and widely accepted fact that if benzoylecgonine is detected in urine, it does not indicate any illegal use of cocaine because of the fact that there are a couple of other factors that contribute to the detection of benzoylecgonine in system. Get to know the 2 ways which in turn paves way for benzoylecgonine detection in system and keep away from them before going for a drug test. First factor that contributes to the presence of benzoylecgonine in system is direct medical administration. If you have had a consultation/surgery with a ear nose throat specialist and if he had given you a topical anesthetic that contains cocaine, then it’s very likely that benzoylecgonine can be detected in you system. In such cases, the doctor warns you of the possibility of the detection of benzoylecgonine in system since the anesthetic that he administered contain cocaine as a constituent. From the time the anesthetic was administered till the completion of 48 hours, there is every possibility that you would test positive for cocaine if you take a drug test within that time frame. Remember this fact and if ever you have the topical drug administered on you, don’t think of going for a drug test in the succeeding 48 hour time frame. Another rare possibility is the likelihood of cocaine being present in coca leaf tea, mate de coca. These are available for sale in pharmacies as Health Inca Tea. If ever you drink the tea and sit for a drug test, there is a possibility that cocaine was an ingredient of the tea would have got hydrolyzed. This in turn releases benzoylecgonine as a metabolite and detection of the same is indicative of the presence of cocaine in you. So make sure that you keep away from this tea when you intend to pass a drug test. With a clear understanding on what are the possibilities that could result in the detection of benzoylecgonine in system, make sure that you keep away from them and from the direct intake of cocaine and pass your drug test with ease
So Hock allegedly went tripping on Tea while on a trip to Bolivia.....
I see the defending of the indefensible is continuing

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club. We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens. Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before. Shaun Wane 8/10/09
"WE HAVE ACHIEVED WHAT YOU CAN ONLY EVER DREAM OF" WIGAN RLFC
The Mirror 30/10/09 How the Premier League table would look if teams were awarded points for famous fans...
20th: Wigan The Latics don't have any fans, yet alone any famous ones.
its same as H&S / CDM laws etc. Why people cant take responsibility for their actions is beyond me. Don't like to say it cos I think he is a fantastic player, but he should be banned for 2 years and should never be even considered as a Wigan signing ever again if he does come back to rugby league. Our once proud club has been a laughing stock since 2005 and we need to be as professional as some of the other clubs in SL.
Please do tell which other clubs in SL do we need to be as professional as?
I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league.
I see the defending of the indefensible is continuing
I am not defending just informing people of what Hock has been found to have tested for.
As far as i am concerned, if he is guilty he should be banned from sport for life and be hung drawn and quartered for bringing the name of Wigan RLFC down to this level.
Iv just got back from ibiza and the Hock was there in the same place as me and 5 other mates, he asked wher he could get cocaine from, lost a lot of respect for that guy when he asked that
