Meh. I happens to a lot of us. I had to find myself another favorite after Feb 18, 2001. It didn't kill me and it won't kill them.Quote:

NASCAR hasn't been the same since that day. :s
=================================================
Now back on topic ...
I would just like to know what substance was alledgedly abused.
I think the other drivers need to know so they don't fall into a trap. http://www.motorsportforums.com/foru.../icons/eek.gif
LOL, and there were a lot more of 'you' than there is of "them". :DQuote:

My son is an independent owner/operator and he has to be careful what he uses in OTC meds that cause drowsiness. He can't even think about driving his personal vehicle if he's had any alcohol to drink. I don't know that he has a specific list from his insurance company or licensing authority but he doesn't take any chances with anything he knows could be questionable. His livelihood depends on it. I'm thinking most NASCAR drivers are operating under similar assumptions.
Spot on. He knows exactly what caused the test result. NASCAR said they told him and why wouldnt they?. Mayfields dug himself a huge hole by trying to play politics with NASCAR.Quote:

It was Dr. David Black, CEO of Aegis Sciences Corp., which runs the testing program, that told Mayfield what the substance was. NASCAR said they would supply him a copy of the test results.Quote:

Jeremy, the ball is in your court. Quit blaming everyone else.
Mayfield may not have anything in writting he can divulge, yet. You have the head of Aegis saying he gets the report through Nascar. I have to wonder if they have a nice little Catch 22 set up, where Nascar tells him to get the report from Aegis. Makes it real hard to file a lawsuit, get another lab to dispute Aegis findings or clear your name in the press.Quote:

"We've done this in the past upon request for those who tested positive."
Not a peep from Jeremy since Saturday. Maybe somebody told him the first rule of holes:
"When you're in a hole, stop digging."
They are talking about it on NascarNow right now. Hired attorney Diehl who recently was E Sadler's lawyer in his dispute with RPM.Quote:
