I suppose that the crew members from other teams who tested positive on the same day as Mayfield were all framed, too? I suppose all the people NASCAR has suspended this year, including crew members, were all framed, too? That's right, because NASCAR races crappy cars, it only naturally follows that the dozen-or-more people who tested positive this season were all framed by evil NASCAR.

Oh, wait, only Mayfield is innocent? Oh, that's right -- all the other positive tests and ruined careers are legit, but this one, NASCAR is out to get this guy? Yeah, right.

Here are the facts: Mayfield peed a positive test. Test identified Adderall, Claritin-D, and a third substance identified as narcotic meth. That test was verified by a second independent lab. Mayfield was again randomly drug tested a second time, and again he failed. The B-sample from this second test has not been tested by a second lab, because Mayfield will not submit to any labs that can separate the Claratin-D in the testing process to determine what is really there and what might be the result of drug interaction.

All of Mayfield's "negative tests"? He took them himself. I think we would all agree that any drug addict in the world could pass drug tests if you let them choose the time and place of the testing.

Here are some more facts: five different people all signed affidavits under penalty of perjury that they saw Mayfield use meth on multiple occasions. I suppose they are all risking jail time in a grand conspiracy to frame an innocent man. Yeah, right.

Personally, I don't care if Brian France snorts cocaine off a hooker's belly every night before he goes to bed. He's a rich man and last I checked he wasn't racing at 200mph inches from other cars. Mayfield was, and so, yes, he should be held to a different standard.

I suggest that anyone who says Mayfield is innocent has not really invested any time to read the evidence -- not Mayfield wild assertions, but the facts that have been entered into evidence in a federal case. Those facts are damning.

One final note: Mayfield stiffed his last lawyer, Bill Diehl. And all the rumors that Mayfield might hire celebrity attorney Mark Geragos? FALSE. Gergagos loves to get paid and when he saw Diehl got stiffed, he wouldn't take the case. I think the Mayfields hoped to raise a retained with this auction, but, ooops, Diehl will be filing on Monday for collection in court.
