More details to this question:
I'm employed and recently I was removed from the work schedule because my ex boyfriend called and told a manger that I sell dope out of the store and that I also do this drug. And use store product to pay for the drug. I was not and still have not been notified by any manager that I was being removed off the schedule. I have not been asked to do a drug test nor HAVE I been asked to come in and talk. Is this legal?

Unless you are a government employee or have a union contract, an employer can normally do whatever they like. There are laws about discrimination which may give you some legal rights to complain, especially if you have a disability at the time.
