If a visitor orders water or some other soft drink,<br>\ninstead of something alcoholic, he or she may be on drugs. Thus<br>\nthe management should be suspicious or alert,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>The cafe management had earlier said it fully supported the<br>\npolice drug bust.<\/p>\n<p>Yoris Sebastian, the cafe spokesman, said in a written<br>\nstatement made available on Thursday that the cafe management<br>\nalso agreed with the a deputy governor, who threatened to close<br>\nthe cafe if it was found guilty in the drug case.<\/p>\n<p>The Tuesday police raid was a relief for Hard Rock Cafe<br>\nmanagement, Yoris claimed. \"We will not protect visitors who use<br>\nor deal drugs,\" Yoris said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that the cafe had been recognized as a \"clean\" club<br>\nfor everybody. The \"No-drugs\" sign inside the cafe means that the<br>\nmanagement does not condone anything related to drug abuse inside<br>\nthe cafe, said Yoris. (32\/05)<\/p>",
