In the past there have been reports of people being sentenced for having banned substances in their system, even though they consumed them outside the UAE. That a drug in your body is deemed 'possession' has raised critical comment about our judicial system.
The phrase in today's report, almost a throw-away line, is highlighted here:

A banned drug was found in his system but no charge was brought. I wonder whether it's a one-off or if it may be the general policy in future.
The paper's website has an edited version and the phrase isn't included. You'll find it here.
