Bob posts:"OK Board Member; please quantify exactly who will then 
determine what is a failed drug test? What will the criteria be 
for such determination and how will the decision be reinforced?"

If you look at

http://www.aerc.org/AERCdrugtestingpolicy.asp

at AERC's website - it says

"The AERC executive director, upon notification by an approved 
laboratory showing the presence in a test sample of a substance 
which may be a Prohibited Substance under this rule, shall 
simultaneously transmit by email or telecopy copies of the 
laboratory report to the Veterinary Committee and the Legal 
Committee. A subcommittee consisting of the Chair of the 
Veterinary Committee, Chair of the Drug Testing Sub Committee and 
two members of the veterinary committee shall handle all matters 
involving detected substances. This subcommittee shall submit its 
comments on the laboratory report and any other matters which bear 
on the laboratory report to the Executive Director, the Legal 
Committee and Veterinary Committee within 15 days of receipt of 
the laboratory report. Upon advice by the Veterinary Committee and 
Legal Committee that the laboratory report shows the presence of a 
Prohibited Substance within the meaning of this rule, the 
Executive Director shall immediately file a protest with the 
Protest and Grievance Committee and forward the Veterinary 
Committtee's comments on the laboratory report and related matters 
to the Protest and Grievance Committee. The veterinary committee 
shall not communicate with the accused or any member of AERC not 
on the Legal or Protest and Grievance Committee."
