Default Re: Random Drug/Alcohol Testing

I was part of random testing when I worked. They gave us 3 hours to produce a sample. If you didn't you failed. There were some that suffered "shy bladder syndrome" One guy couldn't fill the cup up to the line and each time he gave them a sample they toosed it and said start over. He "failed" and got fired, but got a lawyer. And 3 years later he got his job back, all seniority, and an almost 7 figure settlement.
It's really simple. First place don't drink in excess the night before you race. If you have a few they should be out of your system by the time you have to test. Second, drink a lot of water before you go for the test, especially if you have a shy bladder.
Third and most important. Don't do drugs. It takes up to a month or more for pot to be gone from your system. And don't think the remedies like goldenseal work. They will flush your system out a small bit quicker(days not weeks). But I know of at least 3 guys that are trying to sue. Because they lost their jobs. One had the gaul to gripe that they used their daughters urine and it tested positive.
