So are these pee pee tests or is blood taken or even hair samples?

Typically these are urine and blood samples.

Yes.

Although hair is currently not useable as a sanctioning test, some research and baseline testing is being done.

Blood and urine tests are both used. Different tests for differnet drugs and chemistries.

Blood tests - do they prick your finger or pop a vein?
