Look my ass glows!
NASCAR said Jeremy Mayfield once again tested positive for methamphetamine and asked the federal judge who lifted the driver's drug suspension to reinstate the ban.
The positive result from a July 6 random test was included in a U.S. District Court filing yesterday that included an affidavit from Mayfield's stepmother, who claimed she personally witnessed the driver using methamphetamine at least 30 times in a seven-year period.
"Because Mr. Mayfield's repeated and confirmed use of methamphetamine violates NASCAR's Substance Abuse Policy, and because NASCAR must be permitted to protect the safety of its drivers, crews, and fans, as well as the integrity of the sport, defendants respectfully request that the court . . . reinstate NASCAR's suspension of Mr. Mayfield," NASCAR wrote in its filing.
Mayfield was suspended May 9 for failing a random drug test conducted eight days earlier. NASCAR later said he tested positive for methamphetamines, but Mayfield has denied using the illegal drug.
He sued, and U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen issued an injunction July 1 that allowed Mayfield to return to competition.
Mullen based his decision on Mayfield's argument that the testing system is flawed and there was a reasonable likelihood of a false positive. Mullen also gave NASCAR the right to test Mayfield at any time.
NASCAR did just that July 6 at Mayfield's home and said in its filings that the "A" sample had levels of methamphetamine consistent with habitual users who consume high doses.
But more damaging is an affidavit from Lisa Mayfield, who said she married Mayfield's father in a 2003 ceremony immediately following Mayfield's marriage to his wife, Shana.
"Between 1998 and 2005, I am personally aware that Jeremy used methamphetamines often," she said in her affidavit. "I saw Jeremy use methamphetamine by snorting it up his nose at least 30 times during the 7 years I was around him. Jeremy used methamphetamine not only in my presence, but also when we were both in the presence of others."
