You are wrong - it is not pertinent to the case at all. Let's say for example that there are accusations by his ex-wife in the case that Brian France had a secret habit of getting high on heroin, kidnapping hookers, torturing them, and then dismembering them. In fact, let's even say that Brian France's ex-wife had a videotape of him doing exactly the above, and it is on the record in the divorce case. Well, guess what: The court isn't doing to allow it, because it doesn't make it more or less likely that Mayfield's anonymous sample was a positive. It is totally irrelevant to the case. It might be pretty darn embarrassing for Brian France, but the very worst thing that could happen would be Brian France would have to step down from NASCAR.... and Jeremy Mayfield would then still have a positive test to answer for. You see, Brian France is just an officer in a corporation that hired Aegis labs to conduct testing, and of the many samples Aegis identified as positive, including many samples of NASCAR crew members this year, one of them happened to belong to Jeremy Mayfield. Now, Mayfield may claim the sample wasn't kept sterile, or the testing process was inaccurate, or that the samples were mixed up and the chain of custody was broken, etc... but he cannot go into court and argue that Brian France does really bad things in his free time and therefore he shouldn't have to abide by NASCAR drug policy. It doesn't work that way, which is why Mayfield is on a wild goose chase that will not be allowed to go further by the court.
