Mick Cash leader of the RMT said,
that alcohol was involved as "totally untrue".
He said the driver had a "specific medical condition" and LU had failed to follow procedures which had "led to this unwarranted dismissal and the subsequent strike action".
Was this medical condition Alcoholism by any chance?

No , diabetes, and from what I can gather diabetics often give false breathalyser readings , I'm also led to believe the correct procedures weren't followed in this instance.

Wouldn't happen with computer-controlled tube trains. Sack them all, the London underground is not a charity.

Is correct,both urine samples were destroyed having only been tested for drugs not alcohol,diabetes can lead to false positive readings.This fact has been confirmed by London Underground occupational health.

What about the person that controls computer controlled trains?
What if he/she is pissed?

very believable, they've gone on strike before when couple of drivers found to like an on duty bevy and had a stash in their lockers.

When are the driverless trains coming in? They have them in loads of other cities.
They will no doubt be in India, they will just be sacked and replaced with someone cheaper.

they're already here, just the unions refuse to allow them to go driverless, holding the non-automated lines hostage.

Hopefully someone is controlling the computers though?!
If not we might as well all give up.
