Jeremy Mayfield busted again

Good. We don't need tweakers out there racing 180MPH death machines. His career is over and it should be. What kind of an example is his life? A tragic one, most likely. The one good thing that can come of this is that once he is stripped of everything and has hit bottom, maybe he will seek help and turn his life around. Drugs are bad, mkay?

I've never known anyone that used meth for any length of time that ever had anything good come of it. That said, I really wonder why anyone would fuck with it in the first place. Most people, once they get on, can't get off.

I don't feel that way. The guy is sick and in the grip of a powerful addiction. He's not in control the drugs are. He needs help.

 
Our nation's war on drugs is running a campaign aimed at teens that portrays methamphetamine as so dangerous a drug that it should be feared for even one-time use. I agree that it is a horrible substance, but the double standard for athletes and race car drivers makes the message muddy.

Mayfield should get his ass into rehab and start setting an example instead of thinking that he's above the law.
 
Just imagine if he caused a wreck while high than killed someone. At least people had the sense to ban him from the last few races even though the judge lifted the suspension.
 
He needs to fess up, admit hes an addict and go into rehab.....

The sooner he comes to grips with it and gets some help, the sooner he can get his life back....

Right now the meth IS his life....

Mayfield Attorneys: NASCAR hasn't proved case:
UPDATE: Attorneys for Jeremy Mayfield filed papers on Monday arguing NASCAR has not shown sufficient reason that the court should overturn the decision to lift the Sprint Cup driver's suspension for violating the substance-abuse policy. The papers filed in U.S. District Court are a counter to NASCAR's request on Wednesday asking for an immediate stay of the injunction after Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamine for a second time. The counterclaim did not address the second test. Mayfield has since claimed the governing body spiked the July 6 test to get the desired results. His attorney, John Buric, released results of another test taken on the same day but performed by LabCorp, an independent laboratory not hired by NASCAR, that came up negative for methamphetamines and amphetamines. NASCAR officials argue that the LabCorp test should not be recognized because there is no evidence that the sample is legitimate or that proper procedure was used. Asked for specifics about the test, such as whether Mayfield was directly observed giving the sample, Bill Bonello of LabCorp said, "LabCorp does not comment on drug testing results."(see full story ESPN)(7-21-2009)

UPDATE: An independent drug test on Jeremy Mayfield was negative for methamphetamines, contradicting the results of a NASCAR test taken 40 minutes earlier, the driver claimed in court documents filed Tuesday. In response to NASCAR's claim that Mayfield again tested positive for methamphetamines on July 6, Mayfield submitted an affidavit to the U.S. District Court that said he traveled to Frye Regional Medical Center in Hickory, N.C., right after NASCAR collected a sample at his Catawba County home. In a room he described as "very sterile," Mayfield said he emptied his pockets, washed his hands and was ushered into a bathroom, where he provided another urine sample. Mayfield said in the court filing he received confirmation from Laboratory Corporation of America in Raleigh, N.C., that his sample was negative on July 10 - the same day NASCAR informed his counsel that its sample was positive. Dr. Harold Schueler of the Broward County (Fla.) Medical Examiner's Office, filed an affidavit on behalf of Mayfield that claimed the levels of methamphetamine in NASCAR's test are "astronomical" and "could not be remotely accurate, unless Mr. Mayfield was deceased or a chronic abuser."

Doesn't matter if Mayfield is clean or not, as you can see by the responses in this thread, he's already dirty in the public eye.

Sad too. If he can provide sufficient evidence that he hasn't failed once at an independent lab, he should sue the piss out of NASCAR.
