THEY promised a "drug-free" nightclub - but tests for narcotics inside The Star's $20 million Marquee have uncovered traces of cocaine and "ice".

The drugs were detected in male and female toilets as well as a bar-top in the lavish new club's VIP room.

The alarming results come just weeks after The Star's boss, Larry Mullin, launched the nightclub, telling The Sunday Telegraph: "We don't tolerate drugs, we don't want any of that crap in here."

In a special joint investigation with Seven News -- spanning a fortnight -- tests were conducted across more than 10 sites at The Star and found evidence of the drugs cocaine, amphetamines, cannabis and opiates.

Testing was overseen by Seven reporter, former high-ranking NSW Police detective Natasha Chadwick.

The testing units used are the same ones used by border control officers, and The Sunday Telegraph's reporters were trained by the kits' distributors.
