You care when a bogus test or false accusation gets you in trouble even though you have not used drugs. Like that article on DFS previously -- it's good to know about abuses in the system so you can be ready if/when it happens to you. I ima

You might also try just emailing/calling them and see what they want -- could say "I wanted to show you some samples of my work," or "did you want to see samples of my work?" and then ask what format(s) they prefer it to be in, or the types
