Although some series have given distorted visions of drug traffickers, with a touch that gives it to some romanticism as it was done with pirates, the truth is that reality is totally different, and the business is usually above everything.
That whole implies, at least on this occasion, even their own children. And it is that on July 26 and in an interstata drug operation, L were arrested Jennifer Jazikoff and Glenn Jazikoff, precisely accused of drug trafficking, possession of weapons and endangered minors.
According to the information, both were allegedly at the forefront of everything, although they have subsequently been released, it is unknown in what conditions, since even a few days ago they went to the finals of the Motoamerica Mini Cup, where their children compete.
It remains to know the direct link and if, in effect, Jennifer and Glenn had to do or not with all this murky matter in which the two children have been wrapped, one of whom is a double champion of the Mini Cup while the other is currently highlighting. There is also no evidence or not known that racing series were used for transport.

Moreover, the scandals, although less and less frequent due to the increasingly strong control by the teams themselves, have avoided these situations. But in the past categories such as F1, Cart, Le Mans, and even WSBK and the Motorcycling World Cup have given specific cases in which, as a general rule, it was workers of the teams who took advantage of the situation to do their own parallel business.
Another link, although more complicated to follow, has been the use of drug profits and other contraband to finance the costs of races, and even whiten capitals. But that is a swampy terrain that does not step better …
