This is going to be a weird answer.

EtG tests will not test for cocaine. They only test for a metabolite of alcohol called ethyl gluconoride--and I think it's a mistake to test for this because any topical product containing "SD Alcohol 40" (SD means "specially denatured") like hand sanitizer will cause your body to produce EtG. The EtG test has caused many nurses to lose their jobs, which is strange because nurses use huge amounts of hand sanitizer.

OTOH, anyone testing for EtG is also going to test for cocaine, so the answer is, "EtG tests won't detect cocaine but if you're using cocaine and get tested for EtG you'll still get busted for cocaine."
