D.O.T.

[billos]

I haven't been following this site much lately. I have just heard about the maker of the "Whizzinator" getting busted for "defrauding the U.S. Government hence the cessation of the product. Some folks I know who are subject to D.O.T. random testing tell me they have been notified recently that due to the illegal use of substitutions/prosthesis devices that any UA can now be observed. Has anyone else followed this? If this is so I feel it will creep into pre-employment tests which will sober up any smoker through no choice of theirs. Anyone with recent news on this??

Some folks I know who are subject to D.O.T. random testing tell me they have been notified recently that due to the illegal use of substitutions/prosthesis devices that any UA can now be observed.Yes there were some recent changes in the DOT regs. But observed testing is still not permitted unless theres cause...http://www.dot.gov/ost/dapc/testingpubs/DOT_Direct_Observation_Procedures_08-08.pdf
