NASCAR remains silent on Jeremy Mayfield drug test from last week

By Bob Pockrass - Associate Editor
Monday, July 13, 2009

NASCAR has not issued the results of the drug test administered to Jeremy Mayfield on July 6.

Mayfield is currently involved in legal action with the sanctioning body. NASCAR said Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamines May 1 and suspended him indefinitely, but Mayfield went to court and had his suspension overturned July 1 by U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen.

NASCAR ordered Mayfield to be tested again July 6. Mayfield submitted to the test and also went to two independent labs July 6 to give urine samples.

“The process continues,” was all NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston would say about the test results Monday morning.

Mayfield attorney John Buric did not immediately respond to a voice mail Monday asking about the test results.

Poston said Monday that once the process is over, the sanctioning body likely would say whether the results of the test were positive or negative. NASCAR typically does not announce the results of negative tests, but it also typically is not public knowledge who is being tested. NASCAR also doesn’t typically comment on positive tests until a second, so-called B sample is verified.

Dr. David Black, whose Aegis Laboratories conducts the NASCAR drug-testing program, said last week that he had hoped to have the results analyzed by last Friday but it could take longer depending on what the initial results showed. If Mayfield’s initial sample showed that it was positive, Black said he would have to ask the court what to do with the B sample because part of Mayfield’s lawsuit centers around whether Aegis or an independent laboratory should analyze the B sample. There were no filings in either U.S. District Court nor the U.S. Court of Appeals (where NASCAR is asking for the injunction to be overturned) about the test as of Monday morning.

Mayfield contends the May 1 drug-test findings that prompted his suspension resulted from a combination of prescription drug Adderall, which is used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and over-the-counter Claritin-D allergy medicine.

Mayfield’s was called by NASCAR technicians at 1:18 p.m. July 6, but he didn’t give them a sample until 8:20 p.m. for the latest test.

He was told on the initial call he had two hours to get to a NASCAR-specified laboratory to give a sample – two hours being the standard for NASCAR tests not conducted at the race track, Poston said. Mayfield claimed he couldn’t find the lab and then went to a laboratory not acceptable to Aegis but one suggested by Buric.

NASCAR sent technicians and a NASCAR security official to Mayfield’s home, and they were able to get a sample about an hour after they arrived, Poston said. If Mayfield did not give a sample, he would have been considered to have failed the test and been suspended.

Buric said the delay at Mayfield’s home was caused by NASCAR telling the technicians that they had to directly observe Mayfield providing the urine sample with his pants down and shirt up. When NASCAR tests at the track, drivers are allowed to use a bathroom stall.

Black said the direct observe procedure is used when there is reasonable suspicion or for follow-up testing.

    NASCAR silent? I for one hope that Mayfield is innocent. However, if he is guilty; then this incident has had more than it's fifteen minutes of fame and controversy.
    I believe, and I may be wrong that NASCAR has overstepped it's boundaries in this incident. I have gotten where I have no respect for NASCAR and their holier than thou ways; or their attitude of "our way or the highway".

    Just my opinion; and I am subject to stand corrected.

    I have no problem sticking up for NASCAR on this issue with Mayfield. When it comes to keeping drivers who have a drug problem off the track to ensure the safety of 42 other drivers, then so be it. Jeremy has already admitted guilt simply because he neglected to disclose the drugs that he was taking, Claritin-D and Adderall, combined.. I don’t care if he needed them or not, he shouldn’t drive while being impaired…

    Don't they and Mayfield have a gag order about all of this? And if so, maybe this new test is under that gag order until they go back to court.

    HMMMM,
    Nascar quiet? How can an 800 lb gorilla shut up? Don't tell me that they did not get a positive on the second test? No matter how it comes out, Nascar as a sanction body has lost its respect in this household. I have a feeling that more households will be dropping off the Nascar map soon. Parades for races dont go far.

    I personally beleive Nascar does not know when to admitt they are wrong. Since they have never been challanged they have never had to defend their actions. Personally I find their requirement of not giving Jermey the dignatity of submitting the sample without someone watching very wrong. I have had to submitt to many drug screening and have never had to be done with someone watching. Also I have never had any results questioned even though I have been taking pretty strong pain medicines that did not interfer with my job. Prior to May 1st I do not recall anyone questioing Jeremy's driving ability to saying they felt unsafe around him. If he were taking the level of meds or other drugs that Nascar is suggesting then something would have been more noticable in hia actions.

    I do not want drivers to be unsafe but Jeremy has been taking meds for a while and I know there are other drivers taking same meds and not testing positive.

    I agree Dale, Meg you really need to understand what is nowadays going on in Nascar. Carl Long, I know some of you are sick of me bringing it up but I just think I will never get over what they did to that poor guy.Again I wish a Humphy or someone that is an exciting promoter needs to move Brian france out of his office, Did all of you look up into the Main grandstands at Chicago?? about 65-70% filled straight across from pit row,And have any noticed we never hear from Mike Helton the president in the Media or anywhere else, who shut him up and why,He is I guess way too much for all the drivers, not just some. Something really stinks here! and all the commercials, don't you all remember all the hundred of millions that the big networks were going to put in Nascars pockets, Brian France would love no racing at all just commercials if that could happen!.

    Hey Meg. Jeremy took the proper drugs so he would NOT be impaired while driving or otherwise. Not everyone is perfect you know. I only know of ONE man who lived AND died perfect. His name was J-s-s. SOME people don't want to hear of anyone so perfect, so I left letters out of his name. = = = But the rest of us are all imperfect and ALL have one problem or another, some more than others. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy your life within reason, and it CERTAINLY doesn't mean you can't race a stock car. Jeremy is a whole lot better at racing than a lot of the guys out there now, who probably don't even have to take any medicines. I can think of one in particular who crashed last week and did his little 2 year old tantrums again.

    If he were a chronic user, it would have shown up in the beginning of the year. Wouldn't it? If you take the A and B samples at the same time, won't they come out the same? Why didn't they take samples after he was no longer taking Claritin-D? Or were they more interested in just getting him out of racing? Something sure stinks.

    Dr. Black is a QUACK... he stands to lose more than Jeremy at this point, as he sure seems to be erring on the side of caution (that supports him, not what the truth may be IMO). Dignity being what it is, with the court ordered injunction... I would not submit to such a humiliating invasion of privacy that Dr. Black claims is S.O.P. either. Preventing Mayfield from being present trackside and then using those circumstances as an excuse for the invasion of privacy and common decency is just... LUDICROUS!

    Maybe it’s because my husband and I are self-employed and I recognize the liability aspect a bit more than you people who have nothing better to do than whine about how NASCAR is treating “poor Jeremy”. NASCAR has a legal responsibility to follow through on negative test results and IF they didn’t, then every driver in NASCAR could sue them. So, before you start yapping about me being a druggie and not knowing what I am talking about, get a little education and learn how organization is run.

    I really hope this will cause NASCAR to revamp the testing proceedures they use. I think everyone following this story will agree, follow federal testing rules (even though I think it's invasion of privacy) and the "chain of evidence" will be complete. No questions left with that kind of compliance.

    I believe NASCAR is realizing they are not GOD as first thought. The grandstands are filling less and I suspect it not all economy related.
    Don't get me wrong, I believe the safety of every driver is top priority but the methods being used here leaves me suspicious about the reasoning. If Mayfield is actually using and the positive results are accurate then I will agree with NASCAR however if its proven otherwise, my faith in NASCAR and their whole racing organization is lost and then I would question the reasoning behind this whole mess to be nothing more than another power play for NASCAR to keep control over the drivers and I feel except for safety reasons that would be wrong.

    Having done drug testing on NCAA athletes, it is standard to have to witness them providing a urine sample. Guys were pants down, shirt up (guy trainers watched the male athletes and female trainers watched the female athletes) and girls still had to have their shirts up. You'd be surprised at how some people would try to cheat on these things! So, I am not surprised when the technicians had to do the same for Jeremy. It is standard operating procedures and it is to protect the athlete and the organization. Testing athletes is usually tougher than workplace drug testing. NASCAR is also probably mum on the test results because of a gag order. While I don't agree with some of the things NASCAR does, I agree with how they have handled it so far. For those not familiar with DT athletes, it may seem extreme or that they are out to get Jeremy. Also, if the specimen is too light, the athlete has to sit there until they can provide a specimen that meets a certain specific gravity. I don't hear anyone griping about the NCAA or the major sports leagues and how they drug test, yet everyone is ready to jump all over NASCAR. Just wait to see how it all comes out before you decide NASCAR is wrong.

    Once more the infamous 'B' sample is in question. As a rule the B sample is generally sent to an independent lab agreed to by the parties involved. NASCAR and their free floating rules in everything they do is what is causing all this courtroom drama. As I have stated before, there are too many people whose lives and livelihood are on the line in this sport and the need for strict guidelines should be a top priority across the board.

    Poston not be giddy as a school girl makes me think that things went Mayfield's way. However, the extended time makes me think they may have gotten another positive test. Or at least want to be able to say that the test raised enough questions they thought it was necessary to have the B sample tested.

    Yes jbbigrod, of course I realize every organization is different. The ones who have assets of any value, (not necessarily those who dabble on Craigslist and EBay), are smart enough to be well insured. Every lowlife SOB, such as yourself, will run to some sleaze-bag attorney in a heartbeat the minute they think they can take it away from you…..So, Jeremy notified NASCAR that he was under the influence of a double dose of Claritin-D and Adderall, eh ?? I hadn’t read that. That’s right, Mayfield said "he was in a fiery wreck while competing in the Talledega race in late April .... and inhaled a large amount of fumes." (The Talladega race was in late April, prior to Richmond).. LMFAO.. Okay… I just Googled something on Mayfield and this came up … ( I didn’t write it but decided to share it..) <http://www.goteamsgo.com/forum/sprint-cup-forum/8909-thoughts-on-jeremy-mayfield.html> “ Now Mayfield's wed to some stone-solid-little-home-wrecker named Shawna, Shanna, Sheena, or something like that who looks like she came off the shelf at Bimbos-R-Us.” Man, am I in trouble now !! Oh well !!!!!! Fire away! Jeeesh, Where’s MSP when I need him ???

    #13, Thats pretty funny comparing Jeremy to Kyle. Kyle has led more laps in one race than Jeremy has led since 1994.

    So, Jeremy notified NASCAR that he was under the influence of a double dose of Claritin-D and Adderall, eh ?? I hadn’t read that. That’s right, Mayfield also said "he was in a fiery wreck while competing in the Talledega race in late April .... and inhaled a large amount of fumes." (The Talladega race was in late April, prior to Richmond)..* G *

    Yes #25 , of course I realize every organization is different. The ones who have assets of any value, (not necessarily those who dabble on Craigslist and EBay), are smart enough to be well insured. My thoughts on how this will play out ?? NASCAR’S insurance company will settle with drug boy. They won’t spend $ 50,000 to go to court, when they can settle for $ 40,000. I would LOVE to see them go all the way and have Jeremy lose every dime he has to the attorney, but I doubt that will ever happen. The insurance company has the say, not NASCAR. IF NASCAR demands that the insurance company NOT settle, then they won’t step in if the case starts to go the other way. Trust me, I know how commercial insurance works… You just have to put up with the sleaze.

    Meg, It doesn't matter, the loser failed a drug test for a family owned sport. Meaning the France family can make its own rules and when you sign as a NASCAR driver, you sign your rights away. Now, he can fight it all he wants but they will never let him race again. Just ask Aaron Fike and Shane Hmiel and the now deceased Kevin Grubb. He is out, over and out.

    Hey MSP, I have a print out of mapquest that gave a direct route of 900 miles to get to a destination that was actually only 15 miles away. The mapquest route would have had me go to two other countries just to get to my destination. So mapquest isn't all that great.

    Hey Meg, no wonder you are self-employed, no respectable business would hire you. As to your "knowledge" of things, from your posts here on this and other topics it is quite clear that your ego is far bigger that your actual knowledge. Maybe you should mention your business so we will all know what company to avoid, if nothing else, simply for ethical reasons. It is clear you have no ethics.

    Love the irony here...

    2/19/09 -- CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Pit crew member Paul Chodora of Jeremy Mayfield's No. 41 Sprint Cup team has been suspended indefinitely by NASCAR for violating the new substance abuse policy. "Mayfield Motorsports respects the decision by NASCAR to indefinitely suspend Paul Chodora," Jeremy Mayfield said in a statement. "We as an organization appreciate NASCAR's drug testing policies and policing efforts as it makes the sport stronger overall. If Paul doesn't comply with NASCAR's reinstatement process, then he will no longer be an employee of Mayfield Motorsports." ---

    Awe Jeremy, how nice of you to be so supportive of NASCAR back in February... When it wasn't you that was caught! NASCAR's lawyers should've read his statement verbatim to Judge Mullen. You couldn't ask for a more ringing endorsement!

    At least I never have to use spellcheck, and I get MY posts at least 99% right everytime, sometimes even 100%. WHAT is YOUR excuse? Can't even find spellcheck? Obviously YOU have never used MapQuest, OR you would understand how bad they are a LOT of the time. But I guess that would be too technical for you anyway, eh?

    #36 you wouldn’t have the funds or intelligence to operate what we sell, so don’t worry about buying from us. Seeing how you have slandered MSP’s business, (unsuccessfully I might add), I will never tell you. My point was that successful businesses have liability insurance to protect themselves from people like you and Mayfield. There is no need for insurance when you “dabble in Craigslist & EBay” . * G *

    Mayfield flunked three drug tests already and won't admit he has a problem. Whether he passes or fails the fourth test is meaningless at this point. A drug lab tested his samples- not NASCAR.
