(GMM -- Jan.5) A media report will render the claims of former Ferrari (F1) doctor Benigno Bartoletti completely unjustifiable.
The Italian said that almost half of all grand prix drivers snort cocaine to boost reaction time and the feeling of 'invincibility.'
But Germany's 'Sport Bild' magazine will say in Wednesday's edition that more than fifty drug tests were conducted by the governing FIA in Formula One last year -- and all returned a negative result.
Bild said drivers were tested randomly after Saturday qualifying at every grand prix in 2004, and Michael Schumacher - for one - showed negative twice.
