Five time NASCAR Sprint Cup winner Jeremy Mayfield was indefinitely suspended last month after
failing the organization's random drug testing. Penn State professor Dr. Charles Yesalis, a leading drug testing expert in sports says Nashville-based Aegis Sciences Corporation is "highly reliable regarding the risk of a false positive. Any of this is only as good as the people doing the
test. So if you have a bunch of incompetent boobs like some other labs
have had, the results can be (arguable). But if you have a good lab
like David's, the risk of a false positive is very, very, very low."
However, Yesalis does not agree with drivers not being given a list of banned substances. How can drivers be suspended for taking something if they don't know what is on the list? NASCAR officials said every driver has been tested at least once this year.
