Why dont they do Hair testing???

Ray16y ago

Hair drug testing Hair drug testing can provide a much longer window of detection, which is useful for highly safety-critical positions where there is zero tolerance of drug usage. Even if the person being tested has a shaved head (perhaps in preparation for the test), hair can also be taken from almost any other area of the body. This includes facial hair, the underarms, arms, and legs. It costs more than urine testing, and one must have a lab for results. Hair testing is becoming more reliable as technology advances, and there is no known way to adulterate a hair specimen in order to falsify the results of the test, despite what some retailers advertise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_test#Random_drug_testing

Not only that, from my understanding(I could be wrong), it can trace every substance a person has taken, but how would doing the hair test prove that the substance wasn't taken a long time ago ? For example, if someone smoked weed 5 years ago and never smoked again since, it would still show up on the hair test !! Hair tests can only test as far back as maybe 90 days...

I was always under the impression that taking hair samples was considered more unethical than urine or blood. If jobs did drug testing by hair, so many people would fail drug tests the major casinos here in Vegas ALL do hair tests for initial hire of employees.

Floyd Jr. had been telling the world that Juan Manuel Marquez beat Pacquiao twice. JMM jumped from 135 to 144 pounds just to fight him. Why did he not require JMM to do random drug/blood tests? What's more, he cheated JMM on the scales. Why?? Because he has no fear of JMM and that NSAC rules were enough.Floyd Jr. is both A cheater and a COWARD !

Don't give Mayweather and his fans any more ideas. "Yo, is' yo' boy Money May keepin' it real in tha Big Boy mansion. Y'naw how'd is. I'm 'a tell Al Haym'n and Leonar' Ellerbe to give a message to Pack-yaow that he gon' have to shave awf dat 'tache, or else there ain't gon' be naw fight. I got God on mah side and he has a plan fo' me, but I ain't get'n in naw ring if a guy come in with suspect whiskers. Das' jus' how'd is."

Right there. I always thought there was something suss about his perma-tache, and now we know why. Get him to shave it off, and he's lost his mojo. Don't give Mayweather and his fans any more ideas.:

According to this article sport commissions do not accept hair testing as a form of steroid testing for athletes. It's only accepted in France so shut the fuk up about it already. http://www.trimegalabs.co.uk/tests/hair-steroid-testing.php

I asked the same question. And, the answer I got is that the drug EPO can't be detected in a hair sample. It can only be detected in a blood sample

LOL How the **** is Hair testing gonna affect Pacquiao. i think you're missing the point why Floyd is demanding random blood testing on Pac on the day of the fight. ..
