Yes, but that's a long-ago holdover human drug rules, based upon long-ago crude testing techniques. Now our detection methods are so sophisticated we can detect 99.999% of illegal substances through (in spite of) a lasix-induced diuresis (diluting the urine to make an illegal drug less detectable, as it's less concentrated) That did not used to be the case 30 years ago.
