Why dont they do Hair testing???

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.[15] 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.

This is unfair coz Floyd has no hair.



There's a rumor that Pac's tache is pure steroids.

i think you're missing the point why Floyd is demanding random blood testing on Pac on the day of the fight. ..

Maybe its TOO GOOD of an idea. No excuses, no phobias. Money can possibly be lost.

there's your answer.

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

hair testing? is pac suspected of smoking weed???

[Biolink]

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

there's your answer.

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 !!
