    I think you’re a long enough time member on here - go in guns blazing, offer blood/hair/urine - sounds like a Bravo Sierra claim to me.

    I fear the ‘false positive’ in this day and age.

    Keep us posted - Good Luck.

    The fact you are retesting sounds to me like an inclusive result, not a failed result (no matter what the MRO said) But yeppers, go in, let some hot blonde watch you pee in a cup (but most likely a 400 lb guy) Slightly annoying sure, but too much to loose to mess it up.

    It takes a lot of second hand smoke to produce a false positive on a workplace drug test and is pretty much impossible. I researched it pretty good in my swim coaching days after one of my athletes was banned from international competition for a year for flunking a FINA random test. They set the parameters high enough to rule it out. One lab guy I talked to told me you would need to be in a car with 3 guys smoking for 8 hours to trip a false positive.

    It got to be the collection sight because when I turned to wash my hand then turned back around to dry she already had it in 2 cups and 1st sticker on I think I got set up

    Never turn your back on them when they split the sample. You never know anymore.

    [QUOTE="missjhawk, post: 6946684, member: 120824" I can't figure out why I tested positive I think the hair test is my best proof their test was wrong[/QUOTE] Perhaps the lab technician was positive and passed it on in your test you just can never be to sure these days.

    Mythbusters did a show on drug testing years ago...turns out an above average consumption of poppyseed rolls the morning of a test shows a false positive.

    This is incorrect, you cannot get a contact high in a closet with someone else smoking in it.
