Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
Based on the pharmacology of amphetamines it is not possible that your consumption of amphetamines two years ago would yield positive test results today.
Other possibilities which could cause a positive test result include using cough medicines or decongestants which contain Sudafed.
Otherwise I see no connection between your use of speed two years ago in the positive test result today.
Thank you again for sending your question.
Sincerely,
