Thank God That Jeremy Mayfield Isn't a Golfer

Twice-proven meth user and NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield has really gotten himself into quite a pickle.  After failing a May drug test administered by NASCAR in which traces of meth were found, Mayfield filed for an injunction to lift the suspension on US District Court.  He won on July 1.  Then, on July 9, he was tested again.  And he failed again - for meth.

His answer?  Blame the NASCAR Commissioner and his "whore" stepmother.

Thanks, Deadspin, for giving me my Jerry Springer fix for the day.

Brian France out there talking about effective drug policy, it's kind of like Al Capone talking about effective law enforcement. And that's the way I feel about it. The pot shouldn't be calling the kettle black, you know what I'm saying? And I think the world needs to hear that, too."

"She knows what we've got on her," Mayfield said. "For her to come out and do this is pretty ballsy. Everybody that's ever known me knows I never, ever have been around her for more than 10 hours of my life. She's a gold digger. I knew that from Day 1." ....

"She's basically a whore," he told ESPN.com's David Newton. "She shot and killed my dad."

Sure, the PGA Tour has basically acknowledged that players are doing some illegal substances.  But, at least Sergio Garcia isn't calling Morgan Leigh Norman a slut.  And John Daly isn't saying that Tim Finchem is a coke addict.
