There may be many more who are doing it as well. I suspect there are because these people(the directors of monitoring programs) all go to the same conventions and meetings.
don't know whether they are using the USDTL spot blood test, or getting whole blood.
I think this is going to become more and more common as a screening test. The two major drawbacks(cost and need for blood which is more invasive) arent that important in professional monitoring programs because the participants have already signed an agreement stating that they will give blood and they also signed an agreement stating it is their responsibility to pay for any testing.
