I understand drug addiction and I will not make fun of it. Ok maybe a little, but not right at this moment.

Suspended NASCAR driver Aaron Fike now admits that he not only secretly struggled with drug addiction for years but also shot up heroin on some race days.

In his first in-depth interview since being arrested for heroin possession last summer, the 25-year-old said he had been using heroin for eight months and suffered from a dependency on painkillers for six years before that. In the weeks prior to his arrest, his once-a-week experiment with heroin had become a daily routine, including the days he was competing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

NASCAR officials, when informed of Fike’s admission, said the league has kept an eye on the more proactive random drug testing policies recently ramped up by the “Big Four” major league sports but point to the list of recent suspensions as proof that the current policy is working.

“No system is perfect,” said Jim Hunter, NASCAR vice president of corporate communications. “Our current policy has served us extremely well. We do have discussions from time to time regarding possible alternatives, so I wouldn’t rule those out. But I think what our policy has allowed us to do up to this certain point in time, it has served us well.”

The policy missed a guy shooting up HEROIN on a DAILY basis. But the current policy has served them well. The policy is as much of a joke as the “sport” is. I woud love to see this guy’s job description. I assume, idiot son-in-law is contained somwhere within it.

Heroin, the drug to be used socially. Just once a week or so. Try it kids, you can even drive on it. It’s barely addictive and you can pass the NASCAR drug test too.
