6. I want to know, did she test clean?

Think of the children.

7. Am I the only one that is surprised that the lab tested for hCG?

Obviously the lab would be blinded to the source-person, but they must also be blinded to the source-league and run that test on all samples regardless of gender... seems like a waste of time and money, but I guess every once in a while it is useful. Very low odds of that though, or so I would have thought.

10. The process is highly automated.

The samples are put in a rack and the machines do the rest.

It's often cheaper to test everything than do any presorting of samples.

Although I haven't worked in a medical lab for many years, I'll speculate the hCG test is simply included in the test panel for steroids and other similar substances banned in sports.

8. I hope it's twins

Congrats DJ and girlfriend!
