My conspiracy, paranoid, read to many mystery novels as a teenager, mind tells me that if AJ is denying then he was probably given a spiked bottle with performance enhancing drugs before or during the Kentucky race. These guys are always given crap during a race weekend by handlers, sponsors & fans. What a perfect way to sabotage a guys career!

and yes I do have black helicopters fly over my house on a regular basis!

I will play along a little. OK, that is a pretty good answer to "how?" Now, why would anyone want to get rid of AJ?

And as you don't get tested all the time how did they know when to drug him?

Now I have to ask. Do any of you think that Dale Jr. ever has been tested?

The reality of it would be "do you think there are drivers that are above the testing consequences" not the tests but the consequences. First off does anybody know for sure, as I recall it the testing is done or should I say the test request is made while all drivers are gathered like in the drivers meeting. Thus the drivers know who was tested and when? Or is it a "knock on the door" type thing? If Jr. was a driver they summoned his "sample" would never make it the distance. There is a test that can test for drinking days after, what are the levels of alcohol use prior to climbing into a car. It is true that your mind and body will suffer the effects of lets say an all night celebration after all the alcohol is out of your system. Thus you may be a risk to other drivers but not have any alcohol in your system yet the test for drinking would show you have been drinking. Here's where I bring in Tim Richmond. Here's where I bring in the video of the guy hammering a beer at a pit stop (I think it was a Hamms....remember that brand?). Here is where I ask our members to go back to the days when it was rumored certain drivers were puffing a doober in the coach. Here is where us as readers take our minds back to the very year the testing was implemented. Now go back a year before that what was the problem? Here is where I go to the local county park and get a ticket for smoking a nice Rocky Patel cigar. I don'y condone use of any substance that would put a driver at risk to himself or to other drivers ....I don'y condone it. I also don'y condone the notion of sitting at the dinner table with the family and all chowing down in agreement that we have heard about every driver to ever have a test show "something" and that all drivers live by the same concrete standard. Life is not like that, everywhere you go there is a sliding scale. If the head chef drops a steak, oh well if the broom sweep eats an olive he's fired. Do I loose sleep over the state of NAZICAR and its testing policy? No. Do I loose sleep over AJ being the next man down? No Do I loose sleep because a co-worker sent a 40 pound steel concrete form hurling through the air in silence to smash my vertebra and pierce my disk? Yes. Was I a victim of "the sliding scale? Yes Have I worked with people who were above testing? Yes Do I care? No Do you care? No Do I hate when people do this questioning of themselves shit? Yes Will I stop?....................................maybe....right after this. I seen first hand drug testing is a corrupt and corruptible very lucrative system. If you believe that it is not and it is not used as a tool all over the country in endless levels.....perhaps you need a test.

A really good description of the testing here:

http://www.buildingspeed.org/blog/2012/07/what-so-drug-tests-really...

I thought this part was particularly interesting:

“Drugs that can increase specific gravity of urine” is an interesting phrase. One routine check for adulterated samples is measuring the pH, temperature and specific gravity (the density of the sample relative to water) of the urine sample. If the values are outside of the expected range, the sample is considered suspect. This part of the rule isn’t about illegal substances, it’s about things that could hide the use of illegal substances. For example, if you drink large quantities of water (1-2 liters), most of it comes out in the urine and that dilutes anything else in there.

Remember how hot it was in Kentucky? Who wouldn't have drunk massive amounts of water?

The cup has a strip on that tells the temp of the sample, similar to a Coors can with the blue mountains. The B test will show the same as the A test IMO.

If "B" sample comes back negative... what would that say about the integrety of the LAB ???

I heard from a fairly competent source "you should be able to read through your urine". I get my water from a spring not a bottle or faucet and some days its well within the normal habit to drink a gallon. To stay tactful I must state that the result is "clear"........and I feel great. If I were to ever be questioned about a hiding factor rather than a absolute presence...well to live in the circumstance rather than reality is pitiful, and I'd be pissed.
