Quite probably. However, I believe that cannabis can be detected anything up to 48 days after you last used it.
Bearing in mind that this guy was in transit and had just got off a plane, then it's obvious that, had he traces in his system, then the only place he could have indulged was in the country of departure.
I am, myself, dead against any kind of drugs but this case does raise serious concerns After all, if he had a microscopic piece of cannabis on his shoe, then he could hardly be trafficing the stuff and, even if he managed to scrape it off his shoe, then he's hardly going to put it in a spliff and smoke it.
This effectively means that the authorities in Dubai are punishing him for something he did in another country.

The original report in the Mail said that he was a rastafarian which would probably have had 'drug user' flashing over his head like a neon sign.
