Thank you for the reply. Reading your post, you almost imply that one would sneak zinc into the collection cup. The abstract I linked to is from Oxford's Journal of Analytical Toxicology. I only read the abstract published in 2011. It states that test groups ingested zinc before a Urine test. I did not read the details in the full paper. The subjects tested negative for THC, metabolites, and other drugs not discussed here.
Apparently the zinc was undetectable in 2011.

Two years later, (2013) a spot test was developed to detect zinc in the sample. I cannot find any data that the zinc detection processes where incorporated into the standard lab screen panels yet.

My Google Fu may not be up to par on this. Maybe I misunderstood, maybe I should have read more than the abstracts.

I agree, if I am going to sneak something in the collection, it will be clean pee. I am just a bass player, sometimes it is obvious. :P

Thank you.
