Interesting Art. When testing for work, we were given those little hospital gowns to cover your birthday suit and led to a room with no water.

One major gripe we had was, they would grab you as you were swiping your time card to go home. Which usually meant you had showered and gone to the bathroom minutes before. This was done by an independant company. NYC tried doing their own testing for a short while. But there was a lot of cheating going on by the testers. I had a friend I worked with fail a test. He was in the reserves and was ramdomly tested by them 16 hours later and found clean. He got some lawyers involved and the sample was retested it checked positive for cocaine. And they also found out he was pregnant. The testors were switching samples for people they knew.

I can't remember the year, I think 2001, but I was randomly chosen for the test 3 times. It was in the early years of these testing. I thought that was odd. The only medication I take is for blood pressure. I usually reported within an hour, never had any issues. All my invitations were handed me at my pit. I don't agree with how Judi Bureski's was delivered, terrible timing and should never happen again to any participant.

Random Testing????
I was at the All-Star race in Columbus 1999 and was talking to Scotty Richardson about drug testing.. He said he had been tested 17 times,he said that if you pass the test you will be tested again. Another thing he said that John Force has never been tested,this was 1999. How many people have been tested more than once???? Hammer |

So if they can pick those that pass they will. Usually the tests are randomly given but the company has some input. At the Staten Island ferry they hardly ever tested the weekend or midnight shifts. And when they did there was usually an uproar.

Very few things in this world are "as advertised". I used to do some computer work for a drug testing company and you wouldn't believe some of the things I heard for the limited time I was in their offices. I can state as a fact that random testing is not random. In some cases the testing company was given the names of the students the school system wanted tested. One time when I was there a test came back as "not human urine". When people came in to give a sample, they went to a "sealed" bathroom alone and produced the sample. If the temp didn't check, they had to empty all of their pockets and have an observer present for the second sample. In one case, a man failed the first test. When he emptied his pockets, it was discovered that he was carrying crack rocks. He asked if that counted. I've been there on Monday mornings when they've caught school bus drivers drunk. In another case, they tested everyone on a nuclear power plant construction site. The contractor was forced to shut down the job. Don't be surprised at anything that happens in this game.
