    Labs have argued a legal standing of a lack of "duty" to the specimen donor for their refusal to hand over test results to anyone other than the party that submits the test request, i.e., the company requesting the drug screen.

    These leave are not flu by night outfits, the results are almost always pretty #### accurate. Instead of trying to deflect the real problem, deal with the real problem.

    A positive DOT controlled substance test must be confirmed by the MRO after a discussion with your husband unless he could not be reached. The refusal is another matter. He is not allowed to leave the test collection site.

    This is the first I've read all these comments, hope you've been able to concentrate.

    At any rate, he was able to get the name of the MRO, talked to them (on speakerphone so I heard it with my own ears) and they told him he tested positive for cocaine. The letter from employer says Marijuana and refusal as originally stated.

    For the record, no one died, no one was injured, but his truck had to be towed and he was cited.

    Oh, and don't feel sorry for me (whoever made that comment), I know my husband and all is his shortcomings very well. It's all good. I love how everyone thinks I must not know what I'm talking about. All I can say at this point is thanks for the entertainment.

    Wow, usually the booger sugar only stays in the system a couple of days....

    Sadly The old days of doing lines off the steering wheel are gone.

    Won't have to worry about him driving any time soon

    Wait. How did the refusal come into play then?
    This is an old thread. This is the one where he crapped in the toilet right?
    Or was that the baby laxative the coke was cut with?

    It is n
    It is not a positive if the MRO did not confirm the test. The problem is that, under the rules, it is properly classified as a refusal to test.
