CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A judge issued a temporary injunction on Wednesday to lift Jeremy Mayfield‘s drug suspension, leaving the NASCAR driver free to race at Daytona this weekend.
U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen concluded the “likelihood of a false positive in this case is quite substantial.” The decision came after NASCAR’s lawyers portrayed Mayfield as a danger to the sport after he tested positive for methamphetamines on May 1. He was suspended indefinitely eight days later.
Mayfield’s lawyers argued he never used recreational drugs and that NASCAR’s testing system was flawed.
