Judge lifts Mayfield's suspension
Autoracing Betting Lines
07/02/2009 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A federal judge lifted the NASCAR-imposed suspension on driver Jeremy Mayfield Wednesday, allowing him to race again, possibly as soon as this weekend at Daytona International Speedway.
"This is huge for us. This means more to me probably than any race I've ever won or anything," said Mayfield outside the court house after the ruling was announced by U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen.
Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamines during a random drug test in May, but Mullen noted the likelihood of a false positive in issuing the temporary injunction.
"The truth came out and now I can go back and say now we're cleared of all this," said Mayfield. "I cleared my name and now we can go back racing again. It feels good to get this off our back and now we can move forward."
It's not known if NASCAR will appeal the ruling.
Mayfield has claimed his positive test resulted from taking the prescription drug Adderall XR, used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and a double dosage of the allergy medication Claritin-D.
The 40-year-old Mayfield became the first driver to be suspended indefinitely since NASCAR's revised drug policy went into effect earlier this year.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
