NASCAR isn't likely to emerge from this the winner because claritian-d and Adderall XR will make you test positive for methamphetamines. i believe nascar jumped the gun BIG TIME with this. i also found out that nascar does not have an actual list of banned substances for the drivers so how to they know what to not take? now Mayfield is broke and having to borrow money from family and friends and no car owner will touch him and he is being sued for oweing 86,000 to Triad Racing Development, an engine and chassis supplier. sounds like nascar will be cashing out some money on this because now the facts are coming out and it down look good for nascar.
So if cocaine, meth etc aren't LISTED someone wouldn't know? Are you serious? Should the testing program be tightened up? Sounds like it sure - should 'that wasn't listed' be an excuse - give me a break! My 11 year old brother wouldn't have to be told that testing positve for cocaine, meth etc is gonna get you in trouble!
Other drivers don't seem to have an issue with disclosing what medications they are taking and for what reasons. After the fact "I didn't know" is pretty lame. I like Jeremy, I want this to work out for him - if he is innocent. If he isn't, I don't want him on the track. Again - why hasn't he taken his own hair strand test - with his own lab - and released the results himself? That would go a lot further in strengthing his case than all these words words words.....

Ahhh... now I think I get it. What I get out of what was said is of NO IMPORTANCE to anyone but me, but what YOU took out of what they said IS IMPORTANT and the ONLY way to interpret it. Got it.
You are reading and twisting more than I am. So if Jeremy tests that day and passes they are driving with clean drivers so what they said then falls into that category. Come on now. You are reading whatever message it is you want to see. Plain and simple, they said they were not willing to race with Jeremy if the suspension was lifted. They said it in a way to attempt to "pressure", through the use of their names and influence in the sport, a decision by the judge. Yet, we both know that regardless of what they MAY say, they will NOT take any action because it would, ultimately, cost them points and money.
The testing is suspect. The conditions under which the tests were taken, were less controlled than they should have been. Proper testing and retesting procedures were NOT followed. Read the legal filings. And the judge saw problems with how the test was conducted and therefore, agreed to the temporary injunction. The deck was stacked, NASCAR holds all the cards, and refuses to admit that there COULD have been a problem with the test. They found him guilty, without due process, and gave him no opportunity to prove otherwise. And you consider that FAIR and LEGAL?
Let me tell you how they used to conduct "RANDOM" drug tests in the branch of the military I served in years ago. They had specific people they were targeting... and others they were covering for... but they couldn't legally "TARGET" them by forcing them to submit to piss tests. So, they RAMDOMIZED it enough so that the same people always got "selected", while others never got "selected". Test #1 - If you enlisted from California, Missouri, Oklahoma, or Rhode Island... it's your time to piss. If the last digit of
There you go again..... Little defensive aren't we? the statement was pretty clear - you are trying to make it fit your own agenda. No where was Jeremy even mentioned -
it was an endorsement of a drug testing progarm.
As for the way military conducted drug tresting 'years ago' (your words) welcome to the 21st century - that isn't the way it is conducted today. Even if it were - it doesn't matter if someone is preselected or not - if a person tests positive - they test positive! What ? If you get missed when you would have tested positive that makes your drug use OK? If someone is using drugs on the job and gets caught I personally don't care how they get caught.
As for getting 'stabbed in the back' - again - no where was Jeremy even mentioned - the statement was an
endorsement of a drug testing program! You can twist all you want - that is what the statement was about - maybe these three were the only ones with the guts to stand up and make that statement - ever think of that?
