A social media post recently prompted concerns about drink spiking at the event, but Isle of Man Police confirms this is not a typical problem on the island—whether during TT or throughout the year. Inspector Paul Kemp emphasised that while incidents remain rare, staying alert is always good practice when out socialising.
