Somebody is lying, obviously:



http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iIrJsPPI21aR09RlfXaGlJuFiysAD99F6NIG4


Just got off the phone with John Buric, one of Jeremy Mayfield's lawyers.
NASCAR filed a documents in federal court today that said Jeremy Mayfield
tested positive for methamphetamines on July 6, two days after the Coke
Zero 400.

Buric says they don't believe those results.

"We have test results from the same day an hour later that show they
tested negative," Buric said. "Those tests were not done by one of the
defendants. ... I think it’s a little whimsical that one of the parties
that have a vested interest in this case is conducting the testing. If
NASCAR truly wants to be independent, they should have sent the sample
out to an independent laboratory not give it to one of the defendents."

In the filings NASCAR says it offered a sealed B sample for Mayfield to
have tested at a separate facility, but Mayfield's lawyers refused. The
filings also include an affidavit from Mayfield's stepmother which says
Mayfield used methamphetamines frequently.


In all the discussion about this situation, I can't recall seeing what
reason NASCAR has for keeping Mayfield off the track, other than to keep a
junkie from possibly harming other drivers.
What does NASCAR gain by falsely claiming a positive result?
What does NASCAR gain by trying to cover up a mistaken positive result
with more fake positive results?


10 teams. 40 cars. All with major sponsors. Mayfield doesn't fit in...nor
does Carl Long.

I'm tellin ya, whether he's snortin or not, Nascar wants the indpendents out
of the Cup

Thats what they have to gain.

first off mayfield doesn't bring in sponsorship revenue. people tune
in to watch earnhardt jr, johnson and stewart not jeremy mayfield. so
eliminating mayfield gives more exposure to the big teams rather than
the television crews always talking about how "amazing" it is for an
independant team to compete. that's a far stretch in my eyes, but the
current "Braintrust" of nascar ain't made a whole lot of good
decisions lately.

secondly, if by some chance the first result was truely a false
positive, nascar doesn't want to look stupid by immediately suspending
someone and ruining their career over a false test result, so they are
now trying to cover their asses

or third option, mayfield is really using and should legally change
his name to methfield

"Proof" that they are _tough_ on drugs, they are _serious_ about
it, they have a _strong_ and _meaningful_ testing policy, they
are determined to have a _clean_ sport (and they really really
really want the good publicity that being PC about drugs would
give them).

How long have you followed NASCAR? NASCAR (corporately and even
more so individually) HATES to say they're wrong. They will do
almost anything, including lying, to avoid saying they have
made a mistake.

The positive result from a July 6 random test was included in a U.S.
District Court filing Wednesday.

The filing includes an affidavit from Mayfield's stepmother, who claims
she personally witnessed the driver using methamphetamine at least 30
times over seven years.

NASCAR says in its filings that the "A" sample had levels of
methamphetamine consistent with habitual users who consume high doses.

The filing also claims Mayfield and his attorneys have failed to select
a qualified laboratory to test the backup "B" sample. .

Are you surprised?

I had a problem with the sample being taken at his home and then
transported to a lab. It's hard that if he was doing drugs, that he
would continue to do them. Makes no sense.
Did you ever know anyone that was a junkie? It does make no sense
unless you know the mind of a junkie. They will lie, cheat, steal,
you name it, as long as they can get high.

And, where has this stepmom
>been up until now?

Yeah, one of my best friends was a working crack / coke head. I guess if
JM has really been doing this for over 10 yrs then it makes sense.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???? It makes absolute,
perfect sense. If you have ANY experience with the world of addictions, you
would probably see it differently.

it's hard to argue against lisa mayfield's affidavit, there's no way
someone would lie about stuff like that in a court document, but where
has she been all this time since may when this came out?
People - especially people who aren't particularly intelligent - lie
all the time in court documents, and stand behind their lies. What
can a court prove? He said/she said is what it comes down to.

I don't know whether JM is guilty or not, but all this mess surely
isn't doing Nascar any good.....

A sport in which the use of mind-altering drugs could kill people.
