Report: Mayfield tested positive for Meth: NASCAR driver Jeremy
Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamine during a random drug
screening May 1 at Richmond International Raceway, ESPN The Magazine
has learned from two independent sources. In court documents filed in
the past two weeks (Mayfield sought a temporary restraining in order
to return to the track; NASCAR countersued), it was revealed that
Mayfield had admitted ingesting a double dosage of Claritin-D, an
allergy medication, and the prescription drug Adderall XR immediately
prior to the Richmond drug test conducted for NASCAR. Mayfield claims
the Adderall XR had been prescribed by a physician to treat attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, a third drug came up
positive during the urine-based Richmond test. The name of the drug in
question has been redacted from court documents and was not specified
by either Mayfield or NASCAR because of the conditions of a May 29 gag
order issued in Mecklenburg County Superior Court in North Carolina.
Monday, ESPN The Magazine learned from sources that the unidentified
drug was methamphetamine. Neither NASCAR nor Mayfield is allowed to
comment because of the gag order. (ESPN.com)
