It's possible that the drug test results were doctored.

With huge amounts of money at stake it's entirely possible that the drug test results were manufactured. The railroads are desperate to keep this fatigue thing hidden and are notoriously unscrupulous in their dealings. They are also desperate to keep quiet the numbers of substandard individuals they have been forced to hire in recent years. And eveyone on the railroad knows that any drug use at any time-even on vacation- will subject them to instant dismissal and possible criminal charges if things go wrong. I cannot imagine any T or E taking such a terrible risk. But it is possible that there are some people in the ranks stupid enough to use illegal drugs and maybe Mr Siefert is such a case.
