NASCAR: Independent lab verified Mayfield test results
In a brief filed in U.S. District Court on Monday night, NASCAR contends that a test of Jeremy Mayfield’s urine samples at a second laboratory proved that the suspended owner/driver had an illegal drug in his system.
Mayfield and NASCAR are scheduled to be in U.S. District Court in Charlotte on Wednesday for the hearing on Mayfield’s request for an injunction seeking to stop the sanctioning body from suspending him until the driver’s suit can be heard by the court. NASCAR filed its brief Monday night in response to Mayfield’s brief in support of the injunction request filed Thursday.
Mayfield has argued that his May 1 test produced a false positive reading for methamphetamines, according to court documents. He contends the findings resulted from a combination of prescription drug Adderall, which is used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and over-the-counter Claritin-D allergy medicine. NASCAR, which has not named the illegal drug it says Mayfield used, has asserted that could not be the case. Scenedaily
I think Nascar is using Mayfield as a example …. hope Mayfield is cleared.
He KNEW what the substance was all along, he KNEW he was GUILTY all along, Thank Goodness in one of his drug induced race days he didn’t go out and kill anyone, that would have really been a shame.
I think NASCAR is goin about this the right way they should give harsh punishments for this kind of thing it shows that it wont be takin lightly unlike other sports like the NFL who will just give them a slap on the wrist everytime they do this
Wow, really folks? I will not name names, but do we really need to make assumptions? Further more, do we need to assume that he was on any substance while racing? Really though, how many DUI’s do you have? Have you ever seen a chicken run around with its head cut off? For some reason, prior statement remind me of that senario. Ignorance is not bliss, it has a name and a face. Place it on anybody that want to go around pulling the “he done’ it” trigger”
