Meth Head Driver Jeremy Mayfield: NASCAR Spiked My Urine Test
By Robert Paul Reyes
"Jeremy Mayfield told a television station in Charlotte, N.C., late Friday that an independent test shows no trace of methamphetamines and that he believes NASCAR spiked his urine sample.
Mayfield, who was suspended indefinitely on May 9 for failing a NASCAR drug test, has denied ever using the illegal drug. Earlier this month a federal judge granted Mayfield a temporary injunction lifting the suspension, a decision NASCAR is appealing." http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/nascar/news/story?id=4338923
The typical NASCAR fan is a racist beer-swilling redneck whose drug of choice is meth -- or so the stereotype goes. I'm not saying the stereotype is true, but a large number of NASCAR fans are missing teeth.
I jest, most NASCAR fans are not meth head rednecks, but NASCAR driver is a meth head with the IQ of a rotten head of lettuce.
At first Mayfield declared: "I believe that the combination of a prescribed medicine and an over the counter medicine reacted together and resulted in a positive drug test."
But now incredibly he is accusing NASCAR of spiking the urine sample. Only a fellow meth head would be convinced by that lame explanation.
The use of steroids and other illegal drugs have done incalculable harm to the NFL, MLB and the NBA. Why would NASCAR deliberately tarnish its relatively clean reputation?
NASCAR should hit Mayfield with a lifetime ban, it's bad enough that Mayfield was caught using drugs, but it's inexcusable that he is deliberately damaging the reputation of NASCAR
