CONCORD, N.C. – Suspended NASCAR driver/owner Jeremy Mayfield denied Saturday that he had used illegal drugs to cause a positive drug test taken May 1 and vowed he would not go through drug rehabilitation.
 
Mayfield also stated NASCAR hasn't even sent him a paper copy of the test indicating which substance yielded the positive result.

Having watched the Sprint Showdown from an infield hospitality area, Mayfield spoke with a handful of reporters for about 10 minutes at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

NASCAR suspended Mayfield May 9 for a failed drug test May 1 at Richmond. Mayfield stated May 9 that a mix of over-the-counter and prescription drugs had caused the positive result. But NASCAR Chairman Brian France said Friday it was a “serious” violation resulting from a positive test for either performance-enhancing or illegal recreational drugs that led to Mayfield's automatic indefinite suspension.

In response to France’s comments Friday, Mayfield said, “that’s what he indicates [about my test], but they’ve indicated something different every day of the week. I’ve heard the same story y’all have heard. I really don’t want to say a whole lot.

“All I can say is look at me, I’m alive. I’m well. I’m the same guy I was Thursday night before Richmond, Friday night at Richmond, Saturday night at Richmond. I ran the race and I’m the same guy today as I’ve always been. My credibility should speak for something.”

Mayfield, who has 433 career starts with five victories and two Chase For The Sprint Cup appearances, was asked if he denied using illegal drugs to cause the positive result.

“Am I denying it? Yeah, I’m denying it. Illegal drugs? Yeah, definitely,” Mayfield said.

Mayfield, who said he has had independent tests done, would not say which prescription drug he is taking. He said he also took two tablets of Claritin-D.

“[The prescription] is not an illegal drug,” Mayfield said.

Mayfield said he did not have a paper copy of what drugs he had tested positive for in the May 1 test.

“If any of you guys were in my shoes, wouldn’t y’all want your results of what happened?” Mayfield said. “I’ve got nothing. I’ve got reinstatement papers. I’d like to see the results and I don’t have the results. … I have never gotten anything saying what it was.”

NASCAR stands by its process, according to a statement released by the sanctioning body late Saturday night.

"All NASCAR members who violate the policy, including Jeremy, are notified of the substance that caused the failure," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said in a statement. "Jeremy was verbally informed of the substance on three occasions last week by NASCAR's medical review officer. NASCAR stands by the reputable physicians and the nationally renowned lab that handles our substance abuse program."

Until he is reinstated, J.J. Yeley will drive Mayfield’s car and his wife, Shana, will be the team owner.

“I’d like to be back in the car this week, as soon as possible,” said Mayfield, who had qualified for six of the first 12 races in his first year owning his own car. “All I want to do is work with them. I’ll work with them any way they want. They can drug test me anytime they want. I’ve offered that. Every day, whatever they want to do. … [But] I’m not going to rehabilitation. Why would I? Would you go to rehab if you didn’t have a problem?”

He said he was called May 7 and told he had a positive drug test, and he thought he had no problem because he had a copy of his prescriptions. He said he then heard May 9 from NASCAR Sprint Cup Series John Darby.

When asked if he had legal representation, Mayfield said “what would y’all do?”

“I understand their test policy, and I understand what they’re trying to do,” Mayfield said. “I totally understand it. I just wish that I had a little bit of consideration to explain to everybody what my side was. I promise I will. … All I want to do is race.”

He said if it was a safety issue, he should not have been on the track for practice and qualifying May 8 at Darlington.

“If it was a safety issue, I should not have run the race at Richmond [the day after the test] and I should not have been back in the car Thursday [at Darlington],” Mayfield said. “Why would they let me back in the car?”

Mayfield said his last discussion with NASCAR was two days ago.

“It’s so frustrating,” Mayfield said. “I’m labeled now. The damage is done. It’s huge. My family, my friends, everybody [that] knows me knows better. It’s just been a huge, huge deal.”

Prior to the race, a plane flew over the track with a banner that said “Free Mayfield.”

“I didn’t have any idea [about it],” Mayfield said. “I did hear about it.”

The 39-year-old Mayfield managed a smile.

“I’m doing as good as I can be,” Mayfield said. “There’s not a lot to say. As you can see, I’m alive, well and healthy. I’m fine. I came here to watch my car run. … Y’all are asking the right questions to the right sources and getting the same results.”

After Mayfield talked with reporters, NASCAR asked Mayfield to leave because being in the infield violated the rules of his suspension.

"No suspended driver or crew member is permitted in any area of the track where NASCAR business or responsibilities are conducted," Poston said.

"This includes, but [is] not limited to the garage, spotters stand, pit road, driver/owner lot, and hospitality areas.

"There seems to have been a misunderstanding on Jeremy's part. NASCAR officials spoke with him and he understands the rules of suspension and agreed to comply."

    Excuse me for being ignorant about "rehabilitation" but is it due to the cost of rehabilitation or time that Jeremy doesn't want to invest? (Maybe it’s the stigma that will be placed on his reputation…. like there isn’t already one there now !) I know he doesn’t admit guilt, but if he's NOT going to be able to race until he goes, then just DO IT... Remember the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" where Jack Nicholson ends up in an insane asylum after being arrested for public drunkenness ? It won’t HURT and Jeremy would be reinstated. However, if he knows in his heart that he won’t be able to abstain 100% from drugs and alcohol then it’s just easier for him not to go, right? Some people won’t be admitted to a hospital or commit to a nursing home simply because they KNOW they can’t give up drinking and smoking.. Rehabilitation is just a waste of time if drugs trump his driving a race car…!

    Meg, you completely missed what Jeremy was saying if you aren't sure why he isn't going to go through the rehab program. According to Jeremy, he hasn't been told by NASCAR what he tested positive for. If you tested positive for something at your job, and were told that you had to go through an extensive rehab program before you could work again, WITHOUT being told what you tested positive for, would you go through the rehab program?

    Jeremy isn't a drug addict, in case you haven't been able to notice it. If he was, he would have been suspended a LONG time ago when he was tested at the start of the year.

    I know that if I were in his position, having tested positive for something in a test but not being told what it was, I wouldn't go to some forced rehab program. The fact he's considering legal action against NASCAR makes me want to applaud him. By not telling us what he did test positive for, NASCAR's doing more than they would to hurt his image if they had just told us what it was in the first place.

    Thank you, Andrew for that answer.. It's nice to find an intellectual response rather than criticism when you don't understand something. Now can you explain what this means then.." . "Jeremy was verbally informed of the substance on three occasions last week by NASCAR's medical review officer." To me that meant that Jeremy was told but nothing has been formally documented for the public.

    Yeah, something kinda stinks a little here. How can you test positive and go through a rehab if the tester won't tell you what you were positive for? Mayfield is in a no win situation now. No matter what happens, even if he's cleared, people will always think of him using drugs. As always, there is information the general public isn't privy to, but if Nascar hasn't said straight out to Jeremy that he tested positive for cocaine, marijuana, or whatever they come up with, it leaves Nascar looking pretty incompetent.

    Certainly a difficult situation - for Jeremy! NASCAR has a rule book with such flexibility built into it, it is tough to get NASCAR to commit. While Jeremy is within his rights to refuse rehab (which I would do if in his shoes), that does seem to simply keep him out of NASCAR even longer. My biggest issue in all of this (aside from the "actions detrimental to stack car racing" clause we all have heard so often), is the man in charge of testing, owns/runs the facility that does the testing, answers to NASCAR about what test results were, and then advises the individual what steps (like rehab) need to be completed before reinstatement. That is a bit too much power for someone other than a member of the France family in my opinion. Oh yeah - the benevolent dictatorship we grew up with has become more tyrannical than benevolent. Substance abuse has no place on a racetrack obviously, but at some point, the accusers need to accommodate the accused in an effort to show the lack of favoritism or the presence of a witch hunt.

    Jay, this article clearly states that "Jeremy was verbally informed of the substance on three occasions last week"... What part of that is so difficult to understand ? It means HE WAS TOLD but the public wasn't... That's the way I understand it anyway.. I just don't understand why everyone is up in arms over poor Jeremy not getting a fair shake from NASCAR. My sister is an officer at a local bank. She told me because of the liability issue, their bank will not disclose theft of an employee when they give out a reference.. She told me the way to find out would be to ask the question, “would you re-hire this person again if they wanted to come back” ? When they give a resounding “NO or ABSOLUTELY NOT”, then that’s the answer that tells you there was a serious problem.. Jeremy has a serious problem; NASCAR has a liability issue with letting us all know what it is… In other words, it’s between Jeremy and NASCAR…

    Meg you hit the nail on the head with the analogy to Cuckoo's Nest,just like in the movie you're not 'rehabed' till they say you are. The guidelines are very strange on this, you have to go through a lot of hoops first, then they can change the rules midway.
    It's all about the money they can get out of you, not whether you're 'rehabilitated'.

Any money the Mayfield's could come up with for legal counsel would disappear long before he even got to court.. PLUS, what's he suing for ?? NASCAR said he was verbally informed of the substance on three occasions last week.. NASCAR didn't perform the tests, so why wouldn't Jeremy talk about suing the company that did the testing...He’s just trying to hold on to that little bit of fame he once had.. He's guilty!

    I personally know Jeremys Aunt and Uncle and I would be TOTALLY SHOCKED to find out that Jeremy was doing illegal drugs, his family is totally against drug use and would probably disown him for doing it. I admit I think Jeremy has not used the best judgement in the past with his dealings with his car owners, but everyone makes mistakes and hopefully he has learned from them. Good Luck Jeremy.

    Okay - so it is accepted that a "non-disclosure" is acceptable in terms of not subject to "re-hire" without saying anything TOO incriminating... did NASCAR do that? Not in MY opinion... broke the unwritten... I mean UNPUBLISHED rules in the UNPUBLISHED RuleBook! Seriously - would YOU sign a contract that had a clause like "actions detrimental to..."? If NASCAR is going to hire some quack (feel free to think Claritin here) to administer tests, fail to provide the accused with WRITTEN proof and attempt to make them the new example of how NASCAR is now... my question is - where was THIS NASCAR when AARON Fike was "misbehaving"? Those with NOTHING to lose rarely miss an opportunity to risk it, those with EVERYTHING to lose rarely ever risk it - which side of the fence does Jeremy Mayfield belong?

I realize times are tough, but when this this become the USSR instead of the USA? - - - Man, I sure wouldn't want some of you people on MY jury. I guess THAT is why attorneys ask questions of the jurors and dump some of them.
    - - - It is bad enough NASCAR is a dictatorship, we sure don't need that from the law. That being said; I am pretty sure we are going to see a BIG time lawsuit out of this. Jeremy is just being smart in what he is doing now. - - - HE has been through lawsuits before, he knows what he is doing. AND it will probably be settled out of court. I don't think a JUDGE would much like a dictatorship winning in this situation either. - - - I expect Jeremy will be a MUCH richer man when this is all said and done. - - - AND deservedly so, IF he is telling the truth. TIME will TELL, won't it??? - - - AND I wouldn't worry too much about Claritin, they will survive. AND he is NOT blaming Claritin, it is the "combination" he is blaming. Who knows, maybe Claritin will be in a class action lawsuit with NASCAR. - - - I don't personally believe in taking any drugs IF I can help it. I used to take things when I felt it was necessary, but now I TRY to do it all natural, if I can. THEY ALL have side effects. ALL of them. They were NOT made to go in our bodies. BUT each person has to decide for themself WHAT to do. - - - It is NOT our job to decide for them.

    I suspect Meg uses the reference to "Cuckoo's Nest" as she most likely lives there.

    It is quite possible for drugs to have unexpected interactions. Apparently Meg can't see that. I realize the article states that NASCAR claims to have verbally told Jeremy 3 times what the substance was. However, I believe he has a right to have it put in writing. Otherwise it is a he said, s/he said situation. I hope Jeremy has recorded all of his phone calls with the lab and NASCAR. Funny thing is, I am not even a JM fan. Something does sound a bit off on this whole situation. Maybe JM did take something illegal, if he did then he should be suspended. If he didn't then he should have the right to defend himself.

    IF Aegis is such a great lab, WHY are they not WADA-accredited ??

    The FIA and FIM rely on WADA-accredited labs ... The same goes for the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) ... And many other sports sanctioning bodies ...

    There are only 2 WADA-accredited labs in the US ... and Aegis is NOT one of them ... The two that are WADA-accredited are UCLA and a lab in Salt Lake City ...

    WADA is the World Anti-Doping Agency ... And they are pretty much the authority on drug testing in sports around the world ... Their website lists the testing methods and how long drugs can be tested for as well as which types of samples that are used for testing ...

    Howard you obviously have no clue what you're talking about (not that we thought you did in the first place, based off your past comments here) if you think that it only takes 3 days to get rid of drugs out of your system. Urine isn't the only way that you can test for drugs- a hair sample would easily show whether or not he was on drugs at Richmond, as the drugs would stay in his hair for much longer than a urine sample. As for Aegis being the "Best" lab in the country, I have to laugh. If they were the best, you'd see more sports governing bodies using them.

    I happen to think that if Jeremy was guilty, he wouldn't be considering legal action against NASCAR. If you haven't hired an attorney lately, look in your phone book for one and see their prices; they aren't cheap. If he was guilty of doing drugs, I don't think he'd be risking a large sum of money to fight NASCAR.

I just keep shaking my head about the test giving a false positive. Man oh man. I'm pretty sure Aegis knows what they are doing. As Howard says, Jeremy is just blowing smoke to try and protect his shattered image.

    OK did you guys know the Mayfield was told by Nascar three time last week what he tested positive for. Three times, what he is acutally complaining about is not recieving the lab report yet... Yeah so you contact the lab and request a copy of the lab report at best he simply has to fill out a release of information form! Look people I want to believe the man too and I know Nascar isn't exactely trustworthy. However I think Mayfield is lying in this case, JMO though I would love to be wrong.

    You have to ask yourself if Mayfield knows what he tested positive for why doesn't he name it?

    He said, she said! It is perfectly REASONABLE for someone to EXPECT a written report when allegations like this are being made. I am not convinced that the AEGIS lab is in this for anything more than publicity and the opportunity to make money. Sadly, Jeremy Mayfield is caught in their crosshairs as the first high profile person to test the (inept) system. Someone suggested three days vs hair samples... long term abuse may very well show up in a hair sample, and CERTAIN drugs will only show up in blood samples for about a week, but does ANYBODY deserve to be skewered in the media like this? I mean there may be some basis for all of this, but shouldn't NASCAR do this behind closed doors instead behind smoke and mirrors?

    Don't let it bother you Jim, they're all just haters and haven't got a clue about anything called "due process". They just know how to blather about hating Mayfield, Toyota, Chevy, Shana, etc. They are the gang that would run the field of cars down to about 20 and the rest could just park it when they went a lap down. They don't really care that these other teams provide jobs and a livelyhood for team members and competition. I for one am not influenced by their babble. I would rather think the best and withhold judgement until all the facts are know and Jeremy gets his day in court. Hopefully he can find a good attorney and force NASCAR's into releasing all the facts related to this accusation. Because that is exactly what it is at this point. NASCAR was accusor, judge and jury. i hope he doesn't buckle and takes every measure to get them to the courts. Imean, if it was cocaine, say it's cocaine. If it was steroids, say it was steroids. And, if he didn't have a prescription for the stuff then make him admit it and send him to the farm.

    I am surprised that any driver would take any type of decongestant since they are considered as stimulants. That D at the end of Claritin-D stands for DECONGESTANT usually psuedoephedrine HCl; that and ibuprofen is what got Tim Richmond. Just checked PDR and found that claritin-D has 120mg psuedoephedrine so 2 of them has 240mg. I once had a bottle of 1000 60mg and after a few years in the 80's threw about 6-700 away. 30mg was OTC. But we're talking about 240mg. No wonder he got suspended.

    Thank you, Timothy Schultze, for showing that there are still people out there that are competent in this world.

    I don't think Jeremy's so stupid that he would go this far to prove his innocence if he were guilty. I've just about given up hope for most of the people that visit this website; it seems that some of them have never been in a position of being accused of something they didn't do. I will admit when I first heard this story I was shocked that someone like Mayfield would actually do drugs, but as the events have unfolded, I am tending to believe Mayfield more than NASCAR. Afterall, NASCAR in the past had no problem announcing to the world what drug people tested positive for, and suddenly when it's a Cup driver that's on a medication which is a team sponsor of a superstar tests positive, it's the end of the world if they announce what he was supposedly hyped up on at Richmond.

    Something's fishy here, and I know that Daytona Beach smells like the beach...
