The thing that makes it worse is that NASCAR is a privately owned corporation and does not have to make anything public or answer to any outsiders. Even the rulebook for the sport remains a secret.<br /><br />The evolution of their drug policy would be laughable if the subject wasn't so serious. Public events forced them to abandon their old policy which they had insisted was the best in sports. But of course they couldn't adopt a nationally accepted standard - NASCAR had to reinvent the wheel and create a new best policy in sports. And look where it has got them.<br /><br />They showed the same "not invented here" behavior regarding soft walls and head and neck restraints. Once they had been embarassed into adopting these advancements by IRL and Formula 1, they tried to claim it was due to NASCAR's emphasis on safety.<br /><br />The regular media that covers NASCAR usually reports current events in the short term. Once the immediate events have passed, the media can be counted on to adopt the public NASCAR version of events with the pro-NASCAR slant. Checking facts, doing thorough research, and providing historical perspective are rare commodities in today's media covering the sport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-11706717426012333262009-10-25T11:53:19.895-04:002009-10-25T11:53:19.895-04:00I just thought of something.

Why not a lawyer that will purely use the law to argue Mayfield's perspective instead of one that has a massive media history.<br /><br />As far as ESPN goes, it's a shame we're anchored to them for the back part of the season. Even if they're going to get backlash from fans, I think they're banking on drawing in new fans and demographics and just aren't that concerned with the mainstay TV fans.<br /><br />This Mayfield Circus is just a fanciful debacle that originated around a driver that used lawsuits in the past to deal with his driver issues, and he's known for dragging in inconsequential information to explain (make excuses) his point.<br /><br />Sigh. He's so yesterday.

If NASCAR had not tried to reinvent the wheel (and kept the world in the dark about it), and instead used the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) that provides a multi-tiered sequence aimed at resolving false positives caused by drugs such as those that Mayfield claims he used, this whole affair would be over. But instead, because of the arrogant, stubborn, and self-righteous entity that is NASCAR, Inc., this thing will cost them millions, and in the meantime, Mayfield's career has been destroyed. Ultimately, once this is over, Mayfield will have plenty of cash to pay off his creditors, and NASCAR will end up having a fully public policy. Apparently, nothing changes in NASCAR without extreme pain - self-inflicted on NASCAR's part, and NASCAR-inflicted on everyone else.

Today they all political, local and sport journalist just write what the hear say or see or what they are told to do by the higher authorities . There is no investigating.

The one thing I find interesting is that this is all they could find, perhaps they should stop looking in the same places they look for stick and ball sports stories.

'Out of Story Ideas' maybe? Watching Mayfield tilt at windmills, twist stories to fit his perspective and point fingers at everyone but himself for his problems is a familiar refrain. For tweekers.<br /><br />According to an amusing definition in the Urban Dictionary, "Tweekers are known for their extreme paranoia, flagrant dishonesty, and lack of non-tweeker friends. A tweeker will steal your stuff and then help you look for it." That coincides with the observations I have made of family members and acquaintances over the years in this situation.<br /><br />There is little doubt, as McGee stated, everyone in and out of the garage area believes Mayfield is guilty as accused. While the Mayfield saga will force NASCAR to make some much needed changes to the policy, Jeremy and ESPN have 'jumped the shark' with this show today.Beating A Dead Horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06684952692995414719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43409214096506110432009-10-25T09:20:19.030-04:002009-10-25T09:20:19.030-04:00He must have talked to Geragos.

I didn't hear him say anything that would imply that the "top" guys are using drugs.

Doesn't name names, doesn't say any of the top drivers are doing so, doesn't even hint at that as far as I could tell.
