amphetamines

[Sir peace frog]

where to start.
I work at the airport, yesterday I had a little prang hit a coach(trailers jacknifed), nothing serious, , nobody else was involved ,only a little bit of damage, so procedure wise I have to report it, they call it "no blame culture"

procedure says I have to go for a drinks and drugs test,no worries,i don't do drugs and I drink about once a month on my 1 weekend I get off a month, so i do my tests the alcohol test reading is 0 but my drug test comes back testing positive for amphetamines.
I don't know what to do, i had to take a 2nd test done by an outside company and that sample has been sent off to a lab for a more in depth test.

has anyone been through something similar, i haven't taken any meds, I don't do drugs, a bit worried about the whole thing, maybe ive posted this to get it off my chest (and for the so called funny replies I'm expecting) any advice would be welcome.
thanks in advance

I was watching something on TV a year or more ago about people eating bread with eg poppy seeds on failing drug tests....think about what you've eaten?

they didn't say, it was a basic one, an outside company did a 2nd test and that is getting sent off for a more in depth test

Nasal decongestants (Sudafed, etc.) can produce false positive urine tests. There is also the possibility you may have been spiked, but you would have known about it. Food contamination? Possibly.

Lab cock up? Certainly not unheard of.

If the test was conducted correctly, then you would have given a sample which was split in two (A/B sample). You are entitled to ask your company to get the B sample tested. If that comes back positive, then you are looking at the possibility of one of the above scenarios.

It's the orange kitkat/red onion combo. Does some freaky weird shit. Tripped me up a few times.

Are you like Tony Montana on your 1 weekend a month off?

 

[Kinkladze 1]

Don’t sweat it mate. In fact go off with stress until the second test result comes back clear. If you haven’t had any there’s nothing to worry about.

Hope it works out - not nice to have this hanging over you I'd imagine. Like a poster above said decongestants might give a false positive - that's why athletes have to be careful with otc cold remedies .good luck, do you have a union?

fishing and football is on the agenda, couldn't get next Saturday off work as a holiday, so if I'm still suspended Styal beer festival here I come ,

ive done a little reading since this morning ,it seems the basic tests can give up to 35% false readings, so hopefully I should be cleared of drug abuse, but its not nice thing to go through ,lots of what ifs, and plenty of whys
