v. Medications containing alcohol will not be considered a legitimate medical explanation if cited as an explanation for a positive alcohol test. vi. As part of the verification process, the MRO is prohibited from considering as a "legitimate medical explanation" (see 49 CFR 40.151 for full text): (a) evidence from other tests not collected or tested in accordance with Part 40 (e.g., by the employee's physician); (b) assertions by the donor (when disputed by the collector) not reflected on the CCF concerning matters occurring at the collection site; (c) whether the employer was correct in directing that a test occur (e.g., whether proper grounds existed under DOT regulations); (d) explanations that would not, even if true, constitute a legitimate medical explanation (e.g., marijuana brownies, passive inhalation, coca tea, etc.); (e) prescriptions or physician recommendations for the use of "Schedule I" controlled substances (e.g., under "medical marijuana" laws adopted by some states); (f) an assertion of consumption or other use of hemp or coca products (e.g., hemp oil, hemp seed, coca teas, etc,); (g) an assertion that there is a legitimate medical explanation for PCP, 6-AM (a metabolite of heroin), MDMA, or MDA in a specimen; (h) an assertion that soap, bleach, or glutaraldehyde entered a specimen through physiological means; (i) an assertion that the employee can produce urine with no detectable creatinine through physiological means. vii.

As an employee, when the MRO has notified you that you have a verified positive drug test and/or refusal to test because of adulteration or substitution, you have 72 hours from the time of notification to request a test of the split specimen.

If you make this request to the MRO within 72 hours, you trigger the (49 CFR 40) requirements for a test of the split specimen. There is no split specimen testing for an invalid result. Except as otherwise prohibited by law, an employee who requests a split specimen test will be required to pay for the testing. Split specimen testing is conducted without regard to the cutoff concentrations of 40.87. d. reporting, recordkeeping, and confidentiality [Ref 49 CFR 40.321-3331 General.
