    Mayfield granted injunction, will race


    CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Independence Day came a few days early for suspended Sprint Cup driver Jeremy Mayfield, as a federal judge granted him a temporary injunction allowing him to race as early as this weekend.

    The ruling, made Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Charlotte by senior Judge Graham Mullen, lifted Mayfield's suspension for failing NASCAR's substance-abuse policy and allows him to return as the driver/owner of his No. 41 team in time for Saturday night's race at Daytona International Speedway.

    "The truth came out. That's what it's all about," Mayfield said after the decision was announced.

    He pops on a drug test for methamphetamines and the judge orders an injunction allowing him to race???

    Does this set a precedent for other sports? Or do the CBA's nullify any chance of this happening to the 4 major sports?
