Dufus Ricky Williams Fails Marijuana Test Again
Quote:
MIAMI - Former NFL rushing champion Ricky Williams tested positive again for marijuana last month, which will delay his return to the league until at least September, a person familiar with the case said Friday. Williams sought to end a one-year drug suspension last month when he asked to rejoin the Miami Dolphins.

Following the positive drug test, clinicians in the NFL's substance abuse program advised commissioner Roger Goodell to delay reinstatement, the person close to the case said.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of the testing program.

The Dolphins and the NFL declined comment.

Williams, who turns 30 on May 21, has played only 12 games since 2003. Before his latest setback, new Miami coach Cam Cameron repeatedly declined to say whether he would welcome Williams back.

Williams' latest positive test first was reported by ESPN.com. His agent, Leigh Steinberg, did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.

The NFL suspended Williams in April 2006 after he violated the league's drug policy for the fourth time. That failed test apparently involved a substance other than marijuana and may have been related to his interest in holistic medicine.

Williams' previous positive drug tests were for marijuana, which he acknowledged using.

Last year Williams played in the Canadian Football League, then taught yoga in California. Steinberg recently quoted Williams as saying his interest in Eastern philosophy had overcome his desire for mind-altering substances.

Williams still owes the Dolphins $8.6 million for breaching his contract when he sat out the 2004 season, but they've given no signal they want him back.

General manager Randy Mueller traded Williams when both were with the New Orleans Saints in 2002. Two-year starter Ronnie Brown is expected to return as Miami's starter at running back, and the team acquired running back Lorenzo Booker of Florida State in the third round of the draft last month.

St. Louis Rams coach Scott Linehan, the offensive coordinator for the Dolphins when Williams last played in 2005, recently said he would consider acquiring Williams as a backup.

He'll never play football in the NFL again and it's too bad he was and is such a nut. Nice player.

Re: Ricky Williams Fails Marijuana Test Again
He just needs to give it up.

Stay off the weed, or play in the NFL.

Can't have it both ways.
Stop talkin' bout stayin' the course
You keep on beatin' that old dead horse
You know they lied about why we went to War
I can't take it no more

Re: Ricky Williams Fails Marijuana Test Again
It's honestly gotten to the point where I gain respect for Ricky Williams every time this shit happens.

It's ridiculous that there's such a stiff penalty for smoking pot, when the effects are so minimally different from consuming alcohol (a totally accepted practice in all major sports). The guy made enough money to retire on in his first season in the NFL, and everything he's doing in his own personal off-season (ie. studying holistic medicine, exploring foreign landscapes, etc.) is only adding positive things to his personal character, while adding very, very little "baggage" to his personal career -- I just can't believe the NFL is so opposed to this kind of naturopathy. Or, I mean obviously I can believe it -- I just disagree with it.
