Ecstasy users will be allowed in to the Swiss army

Under rules issued this week, people cannot serve if they eat no animal products or if they are of average height and weigh less than 8st.

Conscripts who smoke marijuana, take Ecstasy or drink regularly will be allowed in if they can prove they are not addicted.

Politician Josef Lang said: “Half the male population will now become vegans.”
