Damn, I never thought about this.... I'll have to watch out for this if I ever go. Maybe I should warn my family too.

Has anyone actually been tested positive for steriods or GH for their work drug screening? Do they include steriods/GH in their testing, or is it only recreational drugs?

I voted yes just because I think that people like this should be tested. Now to the extent of what they are testing for should be limited, to say something like coke, pot, heroin. These can affect job performance and so on. Steroids should not be tested, hell they should be legal in the first place.

I'm not sayin' thats what I do, just that it's nobody's business what I do, as long as I do the job I'm being paid to do.

I see no reason to penalize for responsible use. So, I disagree with testing as a routine. However, I think that testing with reason is OK basis published & known guidelines. For example, if one of Pepper's crack addict accountants hits someone on the way to a client, then test him & increase the penalty if guilty.

Any responsible supervisor should be able to tell if their worker is fucked up or not before allowing him on the road. This is just a step in the wrong direction, another step in someone else controlling your life.
