Sumailalim na rin sa drug test ang TV personality na si Tim Yap.
Nagpadala ang ALV Talent Circuit, ang talent management na namamahala sa showbiz career ni Tim, ng resulta ng dalawang drug tests na isinagawa sa kilalang eventologist.
Sa unang drug test, na isinagawa noong August 19, negatibo si Tim sa illegal substances na methamphetamine (na makikita sa shabu) at tetrahydrocannabinol (na makikita sa marijuana).
Sa ikalawang drug test, na isinagawa nito lamang September 26, negatibo pa rin si Tim sa dalawang nabanggit na ilegal na droga.
Negatibo rin siya sa cocaine, ecstasy, at opium.
Umaasa ang ALV Talent Circuit na sa pamamagitan ng mga nasabing drug test result, matutuldukan na ang mga espekulasyong nagdadawit kay Tim sa ilegal na droga.
Ayon sa ipinadalang statement ng ALV, “We hope to finally put to rest all speculations and reaffirm Tim’s untarnished reputation and good moral standing.”
Binigyang-diin din nila ang naging pahayag ni Tim noon, kung saan sinabi niyang handa siyang makipagtulungan sa mga awtoridad para sa kampanya ng gobyerno laban sa ilegal na droga.
