Lawsuit accuses Blackwater guards of drug use

Oh great.

>"Steroids rampant among bodyguards, according to shooting victims' families"
WASHINGTON - A lawsuit against Blackwater Worldwide alleges widespread use of steroids and other drugs by the contractor’s workers in Iraq and accuses its bodyguards of abandoning their post shortly before taking part in a shooting in Baghdad that killed 17 Iraqi civilians.
Filed this week in U.S. District Court in Washington, the complaint accuses North Carolina-based Blackwater of failing to give drug tests to its guards in Baghdad — even though an estimated one in four of them was using "judgment-altering substances."
