Why do Consultants get drug tested by client, while Bankers don't? (even if it's with similar clients)

Just realized recently that I hear a lot about consultants getting tested on a client-by-client basis. While, I hear nothing about Investment Bankers doing the same. Even though they work with very similar clients. Why is this? Is it cause the simply work with different parts of the business?
