    EtGs are known for false positives. Research is being done on how to improve them or change them.

    Winning a golf tour is no excuse for jeopardizing your life and probation.

    You didn't drink once for a month... except for 2 beers. Ok, I'll play along... when did you have those 2 beers and how long after you had them did they test you?
