Also without a list what needs to be reported? Are they really supposed to call in everytime they swig some Pepto-Bismol?

I only know what I've been told by a NASCAR competitor who has been subjected to drug testing since the beginning of the season.

If you had the opportunity to drive in NASCAR Sprint Cup, with it's ability to make a driver a wealthy and famous person, and you knew that there was randon drug testing, would you not at least err on the side of caution and talk to the NASCAR staff concerning what you are taking.

BTW, why is Mayfield using that quack from Texas and not having his Doctor that diagnosed and is treating his ADD working this issue? When was his ADD diagnosed? So far it looks like it was some time subsequent to him hiring his lawyer.

mayfield tests positive again???

mayfield must have a loving relationship with his mother-in-law. probably about the same as anyone else he has been associated with. She states that she has seen Mayfield take meth 30 times over the years.

Oh boy.

..this gets messier by the minute. Now Mayfield's family is being torn down the middle...

He should have contacted TV go with cameras and went to have a DRUG TEST LIVE...
His PR guy should have had the brains to do that...
OTHERWISE MAYFIELD IS A ON DRUGS AND HOOKED

This guy is a piece of sh!t - they should drag him around the track til he is gone !! There is NO place in motorsports for drug users - period.

I agree.....so long as it's proven beyond reasonable doubt that a) the test was conducted properly (ie no ability to tamper) and b) everyone tested was told prior to the test what the banned susbstances were and given the opportunity to report and prescribed medications that could legitimately contain those substances.

The lack of clarity from both sides makes neither side look good.

As I said above, NASCAR needs to send Jeremy to rehab and then do regular testing. He's an addict and is displaying all the symptoms of it. One issue I do have with NASCAR here though is that apparently they have drivers test positive "all the time". That was mentioned by I believe a NASCAR lawyer in a recent AP story. Apparently they only pull the trigger on specific cases like Jeremy's when they have reason to believe the driver is not going to clean up. Several on Jeremy's team tested positive in the early part of the year, and that may have been part of their decision. IMO they need to take judgement like that out of the equation, and if you test positive it's made public and you're benched. Jeremy shouldn't be in a car and neither should any of the others.
