“There were a couple of guys in there before us and it was obvious they had been using cocaine,” Vlug said. “We were laughing and joking about it and we stepped in (to the cubicle) to look at the empty bag. . . “We had to shut the door to look at it because it was on the toilet roll and we were all standing around when the bouncer banged on the door and screamed for us to open it.”

Without delving into the ramifications of three dudes in one stall, the door was then kicked in reportedly hitting Vlug in the face causing “irreparably damage” to his left eye. The bouncers then threw him out on the street without even calling an ambulance. We’re hoping for a full recovery although it doesn’t sound that like is going to happen.

The mans lost is sight you heartless bastards FFS. I hope he can get compensation, I would rather loose a limb than an eye, this is just an absolute tragic story.

Did he get drug tested at the hospital? Surely a simple blood test will prove who is telling the truth about what was going on in the cubicle.

If you are so innocent………GET A DRUG TEST!

Why have you not been tested yet?
