Golf axe for shamed Kidd

Lori Campbell, Sunday Mirror, 30 September 2007

Model Jodie Kidd has been dropped from a top golf event over claims she dealt in cocaine.

The 6ft 1in beauty was set to play at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in St Andrews on Thursday with stars like Samuel L. Jackson. But organisers say it would be inappropriate so soon after being named in drugs allegations.

The ruling follows the decision by Marks and Spencer not to renew her £250,000 contract. Jodie, 28, has been at her home in Barbados, since the cocaine claims surfaced last week.
