Looks like he will also be facing perjury charges...

NASCAR says Mayfield lied to federal court

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - NASCAR accused Jeremy Mayfield of lying to a federal
court about the chronology of a second random drug test, offering to
provide an audio tape of the conversation in which Mayfield was told
to submit a sample. The driver says the telephone call went to
voicemail.

The accusation came Monday in court filings that ask U.S. District
Court Judge Graham Mullen to lift the July 1 injunction he granted
Mayfield so he could return to racing.

NASCAR disputed the sworn testimony Mayfield provided to U.S. District
Court last week, including the assertion that a July 6 request for a
second drug test went to his voicemail at 1:18 p.m. He said he didn't
get the message until about 40 minutes later, making it difficult for
him to meet the two-hour deadline to report for testing.

NASCAR provided a transcript of the actual conversation between
Mayfield and Regina Sweeney, an employee of Aegis Sciences Corp.,
which runs NASCAR's drug-testing program. NASCAR said it would provide
the recording upon request.

"I'm calling on behalf of NASCAR who has requested that you take a
drug test today within the next two hours ... and I was going to help
find you a location that you could go to based upon where you are
right now," Sweeney said in the transcript.

"Right, well I'm gonna have to - let me talk to my attorney first. ...
So, and I'll get back with you," Mayfield is quoted as replying.

According to Mayfield's affidavit from last week, he was in a meeting
and did not receive the message until 2 p.m. and it was 2:44 p.m. when
he was finally told what labortatory to go to - making it impossible
for him to meet the testing deadline.

"Mayfield appears to have completely "forgotten" that he had a live
conversation with Ms. Sweeney ... in which she advised him he could go
to a testing place ... the address of which Mayfield did not take down
because he wanted to talk to his attorney first," the filing said.

NASCAR also accused Mayfield of lying when he told the court he was
instructed to return to his home at 5 p.m., where he waited almost
three hours for NASCAR representatives to collect a sample.

"This account is contradicted by Mayfield's counsel, who claimed that
at 5:32 p.m., Mayfield was still driving around Concord, looking for
the testing location," the filing said. NASCAR submitted e-mail
exchanges between Mayfield attorney John Buric and its counsel to
contradict Mayfield's claims.

Buric did not immediately return a request for comment.

Mayfield was suspended May 9 for failing a random drug test taken
eight days earlier for what NASCAR has said was a positive test for
methamphetamines. The driver sued, and Mullen lifted the suspension
based on the argument that NASCAR's testing system is flawed.

NASCAR has asked Mullen to reverse the injunction based on new
evidence - the failed July 6 test, and sworn testimony from Mayfield's
estranged stepmother that she witnessed him using meth at least 30
times over the years.

An appeals court last week issued a ruling that put Mayfield back
under suspension, but the request to reverse the injunction is one of
the unresolved legal challenges before Mullen.

NASCAR's filing Monday also contends that in addition to the
eyewitness account from Lisa Mayfield, it has several other witnesses
willing to testify about Mayfield's methamphetamine use if subpoenaed.

"Mayfield has apparently contacted at least one witness to convince
the witness that despite her recollection, he never used drugs," the
filing said.

"It's widely believed that among the witnesses that will testify against Mayfield is a
former crewmember for his team, Paul Chodora, who was suspended by NASCAR in February for
a positive drug test. There is a possibility that his testimony could include statements
that he used meth with Mayfield."

A disgruntled former employee, yeah, that's usually a reliable source.
Then again, he may have been the one who initially tipped them off, but I personally doubt
it.

The nail-in-the-coffin phone calls about coming in for a drug test

supporter up to now.

Sorry, Jeremy, you lose.

It's still quite shocking. Never would have suspected JM. Goes to show
how far meth has invaded every corner of society.

We will all probably be less likely to take a driver's word next time but
shouldn't let that stop us having some faith in our 'heroes'.
