Dear Editor,
While reading your recent article on
"NASCAR's drug tester disputes Mayfield's 'allergy' claim"
It brought to mind the similarities/differences in the treatment of these celebrities in the two scenarios of drug use-
One an olympic gold medal winning swimmer Micheal Phelps and one NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield.
Phelps came out right away and apologized for being photgraphed with a bong and they still took away his kelloggs cereal contract.
his reputation was trashed.
and then Nascar kept what Jeremy Mayfield waqs high on-a secret untill it was revealed a month later that e was driving his 300 mph race car on METH.
and still the average American has never even heard about Mayfields use of METH.
Double standard? me thinks so!
Where is all the outrage from the NASCAR parents?
