My apologies, you are correct. A quick Pubmed search shows that Mario Giusiani (from what I can tell he was the PI involved with the study) is involved in pharmocological toxicology with the vetrinanry clinic department, but beyond a paper on techniques for finding opiates in urine he doesn't work with drugz. Similar searches for George Bronzetti (the spokesman for this research) shows that he's done a ton of research in antimutagens and mutagneic effects of evironmental toxins (i.e. take samples of air and river water and check them for mutagens), but again there's a notable lack of doing anything with drugz. Interestingly enough, researchers at the same university (different department) wrote a paper where they seem to be arguing that mixing ecstasy and loud noise can cause heart failure (Abstract 1; Abstract 2).
Net result: still dubious. Waiting, like you, for the peer-reviewed paper.
