This is getting interesting even if you don’t give a hoot about NASCAR.

Driver Jeremy Mayfield went ape in an interview with ESPN, throwing out much chaff. However, the claim that the head of NASCAR’s testing unit does not believe false positives are possible needs to be probed. Now.

We now have two concrete, up-or-down questions any reporter who purports to cover NASCAR should be dying to get answered from the France family biz: 1) Have any other drivers or crew members tested positive for the amphetamine Adderall? 2) Does Aegis Sciences Corp. take the position that false positives are impossible?

That’s it. From here on out, to write or speak another word on this topic without first trying to get answers to those questions will function as an IQ test for reporters.
