Does tricare cover paternity tests?

No. It does not.

Paternity Testing - Excluded

How do you find out the results of a DNA paternity test are false?

there are three common ways:

- bad test

- bad dna

- bad interpretation

The first can easily be fixed with a second test.

The second is not so easy and requires a finding of what is the dna defect.

The third is the most common in that neither the DNA testing companies nor the court systems seem to understand DNA test results. Common thought today is that a 99.99 probability score means that "you are the father." All you need to do is watch TV or read the DNA testing company ads to hear that line of garbage.

Unfortunately, that is NOT what it means. What 99.99 POP means is that the tested male AND 1 in EVERY 1000 other men have that EXACT SAME DNA pattern. Hardly proof of paternity. What it proves is that the tested male is from the same gene pool as the father..not the father. Almost every DNA Paternity test today has the ability to "score" the tested potential father to 99.9999999. That fact is for some unknown reason always witheld from the man. BTW - 99.999999 means 1 in every 100,000,000 men have the same DNA pattern - a better indicator of paternity and easily reached on all of today's OTC DNA tests.

If you want the truth about DNA paternity testing, ask a scientist, not a lawyer, not a judge, not a DNA testing lab, and certainly NOT Maury.

What is dope test and why it is done?

The use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport is commonly referred to by the disparaging term "doping", particularly by those organizations that regulate competitions. The use of performance enhancing drugs is mostly done to improve athletic performance. This is why many sports ban the use of performance enhancing drugs. Another similar use of medical technology is called blood doping, either by blood transfusion or use of the hormone erythropoietin (EPO). The use of drugs to enhance performance is considered unethical by most international sports organizations and especially the International Olympic Committee, although ethicists have argued that it is little different from the use of new materials in the construction of suits and sporting equipment, which similarly aid performance and can give competitors advantage over others. The reasons for the ban are mainly the alleged health threat of performance-enhancing drugs, the equality of opportunity for athletes and the supposedly exemplary effect of "clean" ("doping-free") sports in the public.To check wethere any player has taken drugs to play better is known as dope test.

It is done so that no player can use drugs.
