What is the name of your state? Ohio. I was fired after failing a urine test due to taking diet pills that supossably contained amphetamines. I had a perfect work record with this company. If i use them as a reference are they allowed to disclose the reason i was fires,meaning telling about my test results?

In the large majority of states, an employer can release any information that is true or that they honestly believe to be true. The only information I can think of that they are not permitted to release is any medical information they may have on file.

Sorry, but there is more to it than that. You had to have been taking some one else's prescription drugs or something, if you had been taking over the counter diet pills, your UA would have been sent to a lab, gone over by a doctor, who would have called you and asked you about medications you had taken, if you had supplied them with the name of the medication that could possibly have caused that "false" result, it would have been documented the reserved urine would have been retested and you would not have been given a positive result. Sorry, but your post smells fishy.
PS. Yes, they can tell, after all it is true.
