We had two separate Non-DOT donors come in and present our collector with a specimen that the temperature was out of range. Both were asked to wait in the waiting room, and both were “mouthing off” claiming they gave a good sample and that the staff was racist. A third donor waiting bought into their rhetoric and became concerned that his sample would also be rejected because of his race; he gave a good sample, and we accepted it without incident.

The two cheaters continued to vocalize their displeasure when another person entered the clinic, approached one of the donors and then abruptly left. An employee noticed that the donor that was approached stuffed something into his pants. The donor then asked to give another specimen. When he was in the collection room, the collector explained that he saw what took place in the waiting room. The donor denied he was given anything, and we explained we had caught the incident on camera, and he asked to see the footage. The collector left the collection room to ask management if he could show him the footage. The minute the donor was alone in the collection room, he pulled out of his pants a pill bottle, opened it and poured its liquid contents into the trash can as well as the bottle; we knew this because we were watching him on the camera.

The collector returned to the collection room and dug the pill bottle out of the trash and showed it to him; he denied it was his. We explained his denial didn’t matter because the collection would be done under direct observation based on everything we witnessed. Keep in mind during this whole process the 2nd cheater was still in the waiting room continuing to be belligerent.

The donor entered the bathroom with the collector who was there to witness the void. The donor slightly turned his back to the collector. The collector noticed the donor had another container with a spray head from which he attempted to squirt liquid into the cup without the collector seeing it. That’s when the spray head fell into the cup. The collector asked him “what is that?” the donor claimed, “I don’t know” and threw it into the trash. Our collector continued “I just saw that come out of your pants how can you not know what it is?” The donor vehemently and repeatedly denied it was his.

The collector told the donor the collection was over, and it would be reported as a refusal to test. He was led back into the waiting room where again the collector informed him that the collection was considered a refusal and that he was free to leave. The donor persisted in denying everything and continued to speak disrespectfully. The collector then instructed him to leave the premises.

The 2nd cheater finally gave us a specimen we would accept, a few days later the lab reported it as positive.
