WoO Speedweeks Drug Tests

[Raceready]

So you're calling out Chub on something that happened 3 or 4 years ago? You're sure he's still taking pain pills? You know for sure the pills he was taking had that warning? Onlyfacts???? Yeah, whatever. I'm sure the WoO knows exactly what Chub was taking and pretty sure you have no clue but you keep giving us the facts.

LOL ! The facts were that they didn't know that the pills in question were in fact diet pills. They made a stink because he had them in one of those weekly planner containers instead of the original container.

Here's a question to ponder. So how many teams are following the WoO tour ? 10 to 15 ? So if they would do a sweeping drug test of drivers and a portion of guys test positive. Are they really prepared for a outcome that could potentially be a blow they may not recover from ? It's not like there are guys just waiting to jump on tour. I think if and when there is testing the results are going to be kept very quite. I'm sure the insiders on 4m will have every result of every driver that has won a race.

I agree on the pills not being in the original prescription package. I had read that they were pain pills he was taking for a prior back injury.

I remember it that way as well HH25. Seems there was a link on here back when it happened, that showed his mug shot and everything.

Years ago I work for an electrical company and we landed a huge government contract to do electrical remodel on 25 county courthouses. Part of this contract was that we had to have random drug screening. One Monday morning everyone showed up to the shop along with a rep from lab corp(no one was aware of this test). They tested 22 employees that the owner picked thinking these were the ones that would definitely pass. 18 of the 22 came up hot for THC. Almost put the company out of business over the next couple of months. He was able to work in a 2nd chance program through the contractor and eventually get most of these guys cleared to work again which saved the company. Point is WoO doesn't know what situation they may be getting their self into I do not condone drug use but I also don't see how WoO has authority to test a subcontractor who is using his own equipment and money to perform a job. Just my .02

been an entertaining read. why are there so many worried about the effect this has on bloomquist?

i'll take this as the best post on this thread:

Its all not about Scott or probably not about him at all, it is more in regards to the instance between Tony Stewart and Kevin Ward Jr. and those pending lawsuits. Here is a quote from the article below "Stewart already has been exonerated once. A grand jury heard testimony in September and needed less than an hour of deliberation to determine not to charge Stewart in the death of Ward, who had enough marijuana in his system to influence his actions, according to the district attorney."
This is why you need drug testing, tracks, series and drivers cannot afford to have these type of lawsuits against them.

Thats exactly right. They dont have a leg to stand on if it ever goes to court. IMO

GRT62. worked union job for 25yrs. boilermakers. power station was down for a refit. One Monday they showed up with a trailer and said ALL employees had to get thru that trailer and p. Exactly 67 men were stopped from entering the station Friday morning. The rest refused to work. We were picketing until the following Wednesday. Work stopped on a station that supplied western new York with most of the power. Wednesday afternoon we were all told break down the picket everyone including the 67 went back to work Monday., and just for the record, never saw that p trailer again. GEE, I wonder why.

LOL I guess I should've mentioned that lab corp car was never seen again.

That's what I'm talking about a25jr. If you get a dui, and lock you up, they release you in, what 8 or 10 hours. So in that train of thought, they deem you sober after that period of time? As you said, is there a test out there? I'm adament about this because I got popped at work about 5 yrs. ago after having a tooth pulled. I was tested a day and a half later after I had taken the last of 8 prescribed pills , and was positive for opiates. I was let go until I could get the documentation together. It took 2 days, because the dentist office closes on weds. I got the papers I needed, went back to work on Thursday, and I was a drug addict. Lost some so called friends over this.

You have to blow zero to get out of jail. Yes they test you before you can leave.

Your point is great......they should do the same with the gange........ain't no way the guy smoking something in the hauler after a race is going to impair his driving the next night......unless it's some newfangled strain my brother hasn't heard about, he is in the business in one of those states and if he hasn't seen it or smoked it, it's not been made yet.

Weed Just like the booze......They can drink or smoke it up at night and be sober as a judge in the morning.

Test the guy before he hits the track with the right equipment......you can tell right away how long ago he hit the bong.....or just Stfu about it and let the guy have some down time after a race.

okay.

plunks7: I know exactly what you meant. however...

considering the board we are on, any mention of "zero" has a different connotation.

or maybe i'm the only one with a twisted sense of humor and mind.

sorry. but I laughed when I read your post.
