So what was to stop Mayfield from going to the NASCAR Dr. first to let him know what prescriptions he was taking? It's up to Mayfield to make the first step, not NASCAR.Quote:

From what I've read that's part of the problem. Based on what I've read drivers are supposed to advise NASCAR or the testing lab up front what prescribed meds, if any, they are on.Quote:

He may not be as bad as we thought. Maybe it's just sloppy clerical work by Mayfield's Attorney. We'll see.

Statement by Harvey MacFenerstein, M.D. Corrects Inaccuracies
Analytical Toxicology Corp.
ATC Drug Testing ServicesSAN ANTONIO, TX--(Marketwire - June 18, 2009) - Harvey MacFenerstein, M.D., a medical toxicologist and president of Analytical Toxicology Corp., released the following statement related to questions raised about an affidavit in the case of NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield.
Thank you for this opportunity to clear up the facts regarding my background. As the founder and president of Analytical Toxicology Corp. and a person who is intimately familiar with standards and practices related to drug testing, I was asked to give my expert opinion on lab results. I examined the facts and offered my best and honest opinion. I was not compensated in any way for my services.
Before signing an affidavit, I noticed inaccuracies regarding my background and corrected them. Unfortunately, the revisions I made were not reflected in the affidavit that was filed.
This error has hurt me and damaged my reputation. I am proud of my educational and professional background and I wish to correct the record. Below is a complete and accurate account of my educational and professional background.
Education
I earned my Medical Degree in 1982 from Universidad Centro de Estudios Tecnologicos, more commonly called Universidad C.E.T.E.C. in the Dominican Republic. I studied there from 1980 to 1982 after transferring from Universidad Del Noreste in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico, where I studied from 1978 to 1980.
Professional
Since 1996 I have owned and operated Analytical Toxicology Corp., a full-service drug testing lab in San Antonio, Texas. We are the only lab in South Texas that uses Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), which is considered a gold standard for forensic substance identification. We are also the only lab in the region to use the state-of-the-art High Performance Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (HPLC/MS) analysis platform.
I am an active member of the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology and the American Chemical Society.
To provide the highest degree of quality assurance to our clients, the College of American Pathology tests our lab every 90 days. I am proud that we have been in operation for more than 10 years without incident.
I have devoted my career to achieving the highest standards of professionalism and accuracy. It is heartbreaking that my reputation and credibility have been tainted due to these accusations. I am proud of my educational and professional accomplishments and played no role in the distortions of my background.
How embarrassing.
Don't know if this matters or not.

''The records given to us indicate that this is the largest scandal involving fraudulent medical diplomas that has ever taken place in the United States,'' Mr. Kelleher said.
According to the Dominican investigation, the four schools most deeply implicated were: Universidad Centro de Estudios Tecnologicos, commonly known as Cetec, Universidad Centro de Investigacion, Universidad Central del Este and Universidad Tecnologica de Santiago.
Holy wow. I'm glad that my physicians' diplomas were issued from actual US universities.
I checked out the Neuro Surgeon guy before I met with him on Wednesday. after meeting him I feel very good to be in his hands.Quote:

The rest of this is just piling on. Jeremy's "expert" is a fraud apparently, and while NASCAR doesn't publish a "list" somehow people want to believe the people in Daytona Beach are dumb enough to not have lawyered this up and down?
Mayfield's defense is bouncing around trying to muddy up the waters to the obvious fact. HE took drugs he shouldn't have that make NASCAR believe he is a danger to himself and others. He didn't admit to any medicines before the drug test so I have ZERO sympathy for him. If it is true he took METH, double that ZERO part...
Harvick..that'll work til the bank takes it away.
Between the lawyer on the drug charges, and the suppliers after him for his dough, he is in for a world of hurt.
