If you slept in on this Sunday morning, you likely missed Jeremy Mayfield’s first 1-on-1 interview since testing positive for methamphetomines back in May.
If you missed the interview on ESPN’s Outside The Lines, you didn’t miss much. Mayfield basically told reporter Steve Delsohn that he did not ever use meth, and that he doesn’t even know what it looks like. He also said, once again, that he believes he was targeted and used as an example.
However, we did learn a few things, beginning with:
-NASCAR has no case against Mayfield. At least, not one they wanted to defend too badly on national television. Brian France, CEO of NASCAR, Dr. David Black of Aegis Labs, and Lisa Mayfield, stepmother of Jeremy, all declined to comment on their supposed case.
-Also, former NASCAR driver and Mayfield’s former brother-in-law, David Keith, as well as three other people, have filed affidavits against Mayfield, claiming he used meth. Mayfield claims that they are all best friends, and that Keith has been mad at Mayfield since he divorced Keith’s sister and stopped funding his race car. All four of them declined to comment, as well.
-NASCAR’s drug testing policy is not transparent. This, according to NCAA doping tester, Dr. Anthony Butch. I think an opinion from somebody of that stature is enough to perhaps warrant a drug-testing reform, don’t you?
-The popular opinion in the garage is that Mayfield was used as an example. Though a guilty example, according to ESPN reporter Ryan McGee.
-You can’t feel very bad for Mayfield. At least, not if you saw the house he and his wife are trying to build. Seriously, Jeremy, if money’s that tight, maybe you ought to think about downsizing just a bit.
