United States Eighth Circuit

Board did not abuse its discretion in revoking aircraft mechanic's license for unexplained failure to provide a urine sample during random drug test. Board's interpretation of regulation relating to consumption of water was reasonable, and substantial evidence supports the findings that the failure to provide a specimen was not due to a medical problem and that it amounted to a refusal to test.
