There’s a good reason why the result or breathalyzer testing conducted on Cardinals G.M. Steve Keim has yet to be revealed. There isn’t one.

According to Perry Vandell of the Arizona Republic, Keim refused to submit to breath testing.

No, I’m not going to do that,” Keim told a police officer, who immediately arrested Keim for suspicion of DUI.

During the video of the arrest, the officer accuses Keim of maneuvering the vehicle to avoid police. Keim also admits to drinking “two beers.”

Keim later submitted to blood testing, with police drawing two vials of blood. While regarded as a more reliable method for measuring blood-alcohol concentration, the passage of time may have caused the number to be lower than it would have been at the time of the arrest.
