Bubba Drug Stunt Shows Mayfield May Be Telling Truth

Syndicated radio talk show host 'Bubba The Love Sponge' has cast a bit of doubt on NASCAR's drug testing policy

Related: Bubba's Drug Test

Most people affiliated with the sport of NASCAR, including myself, doubted Jeremy Mayfield's story when he was busted for failing NASCAR's drug policy three weeks ago. Mayfield swore up and down that he was innocent when the rest of main stream media and race fans across the country called him a drug addict. Now, it seems he may be telling the truth!

Heard on his syndicated morning radio show in major markets, 'Bubba The Love Sponge' wondered aloud if there could have been any truth to Mayfield's claims that a combination of drugs triggered the Sprint Cup driver's positive test for Methamphetamine. See the pics here.

Mayfield claims an over-the-counter allergy medication and another drug which was prescribed by his physician to treat ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) caused the failed test. So, the infamous shock jock did what a shock jock does...he digested the same drugs Mayfield has claimed were the cause of his failed drug test. And guess what? He came away with the same results Mayfield did.

Bubba digested Claritin-D and Adderall, the same drugs Mayfield claimed to have taken, and then took a drug test just as Mayfield had weeks earlier. When the results came in, Methamphetamine showed as a positive just as it did for Mayfield even though Bubba never came within five-hundred miles of the illegal drug.

Now, one has to wonder, is Mayfield telling the truth or is NASCAR's drug test flawed? 'Bubba The Love Sponge' has at least given NASCAR good reason to take another look at it's screening process, and he has also given Mayfield some powerful evidence in his quest to challenge the mighty sports organization in a court of law. - John 'Captain Thunder' Nevins - www.CaptainThunderRacing.com

MORE: Bubba will re-do the test Friday at 6:00 AM e.s.t. on his syndicated morning radio show. He will also be video taping the test to prove the process and the results. First, he will take the test to prove he is clean of Methamphetamine. Then, he will digest the Adderall and the Claritin-D and take the test again to show the positive Methamphetamine results.

What others are saying

  • The drug tests of a few years ago could be fooled that way. I've heard that today's tests can't. Can we be sure Bubba is using a modern test. If he wants to be sure, he should send it to the testing agency that tested Mayfield
  • Jeremy Mayfield drug test
    Is this the attention that nascar really wants? They, nascar jumped the gun just so they could say "We've Got One" Now in my words, they have got one, one hellva law suit. The second thing you have to wonder is what dose this say about the drug testing firm and DR Black who preformed the testing, not once but twice. Who BTW has said that the drugs Mayfield did take could have not caused a False Positive test results.

    This is just another thing in a very long line of things that nascar has done to weaken the sport and take the enjoyment out of the sport.
  • Flawed DRUG TEST
    Nascar even if they know they are wrong will not give in or admit it, not now or in the future. If they said they may have made a mistake it would cost them 100s of millions. They have ruined the sport over the years. Now they implement the double wide restart-they say we did it because that is what the fans want. Well when you take shlt and cover it with icing it's still shlt
  • Jeremy Mayfield drug test
    I never believed Jeremy had done meth. I couldn't believe he would put so much on the line to do drugs. I am so sick of NAZI NASCAR thinking they are God. People need to stick together and boycott them. Where would they be without the fans and the drivers. The drivers should stick with the fans and stand up to them. They aren't even allowed to say what they think. Get real!!!! I love Jeremy and Jeff Gordon, but I think people need to take a stand. They want the money, fans bring the money. Did they take Jeremy's website down, I can't get on. Anyone else with a problem? I hope this guy will go to court with Jeremy.
  • This has been done and proves the point that Jeremy's lawyers are trying to prove. I wish they still had Bubba on in Columbus,OH
  • jm

  • Finally somebody did this!!!
    Thanks Bubba for testing the results Nascar seems so reluctant to doubt! I hope this type of thing helps clear Jeremy!
  • Meth Test
