One Guy Racing on Heroin Ruins it for Everyone

↵Last spring, a Truck Series driver told the world he had raced on heroin. That’s pretty frightening, though surely nothing out of the ordinary in exurban America. Of course, NASCAR officials convulsed into action. Five months later, we apparently have a drug policy which does not ban any particular substances but casts abuse of anything as a punishable no-no. ESPN.com’s Marty Smith, take us away:↵↵⇥The new policy, sources said, will include random testing for drivers, over-the-wall crew members and NASCAR officials. Those same industry sources said NASCAR would not implement any specific list of banned substances, claiming they, as a sanctioning body, want to be as strict as possible with this new plan and that any substance can be abused.↵↵while it’s awesome NASCAR officials will be subject to testing -- imagine Ed Hochuli being called to N.Y. to get tested for PEDs -- the lack of, you know, disclosure on what is not OK seems like a misfire. Drivers aren’t necessarily a litigious bunch, and I’m sure NASCAR has a fabulous legal team ... but parameters seem important in this instance. I mean, doughnuts could be a dangerous substance for Tony Stewart and his fellow racers. Is NASCAR going to swap his mouth for powdered sugar?

↵By the way, if Intrade or some betting book throws up a prop bet on which Sprint Cup driver will be the first to get busted under the new policy, I’m taking out a line of credit. Easy, easy money.↵
