WILLIAMS REPORT CONFIRMED

Jason Cole of The Miami Herald confirms that Dolphins running back Ricky Williams has failed another drug test.

He faces a suspension of at least one year.

Team spokesman Harvey Greene declined comment.

''Because of the confidential nature of the league's substance abuse policy, we can't comment on any aspect of that program,'' Greene told Cole.

Williams stayed clean for all of the 2005 season. Recent reports indicated that the Broncos were interested in trading for him. With his 2006 season in jeopardy, Williams would be 30 if he returns to action in 2007.

Williams is under contract for two more years with the Dolphins, at base salaries of $545,000 and $670,000.

Man I love it, although I think Ronnie Brown is much better anyways.

[sanchizeqb]

I'm sorry .. but I can't hate on a dude that has a good heart just because he's odd and likes to smoke. Big deal. Plenty of these people in the world, IMO. So as a Ricky Williams "fan" (I like the guy, the player, etc), I'll provide a different perspective on this thread.

It's obvious that the man just missed the test. He probably has to be tested 3 times a week, making him some type of a prisoner. Given the confirmation from Ricky's mom that he's in India, I've got to believe he went on vacation and missed a test. I think he'd have good grounds to appeal.

PFT confirms this:

RICKY VIOLATION WAS A MISSED TEST



A league source tells us that Dolphins running back Ricky Williams violated the NFL substance abuse policy not through a positive test but by failing to report for a scheduled test.



Players who are subject to the drug program face regular requirements to submit to testing. Once notified of the obligation to provide a sample of kidney Kool Aid, the player has a specific time period within which to do so. (Per the drug policy, the player has four hours from the time of the scheduled test to produce an Italian astronaut.)



As a participant in Stage Three of the program, Williams is subject to up to 10 unannounced tests per month.



Meanwhile, The Miami Herald has revised its story regarding the failed test to leave the door open for the possibility that it was, indeed, a failure to show up for the test.



The difference is technical. Either action is a violation of the substance abuse policy, and a violation (for Williams) most likely will trigger a minimum suspension of one year. During the suspension, he still will be expected to submit to testing and other aspects of his treatment plan.

[plinko]

He gets tested 3 times a week for a reason. He's in a drug abuse program. Which means he was too stupid to simply play football for 8 years and retire when he could resume smoking weed for the rest of his life after making millions and millions of dollars by not smoking.

[Big Poppa Naich]

Hahaha, this will be fodder for jokes against Miami fans for years to come. We have something to counter the fake spike comments with. Awesomeness.

I think the Marino spike is an NFL classic moment. Ricky getting "another suspension" is boring...

You must be pretty desperate if you plan on using "another Ricky suspension" as your only ammo. My advice, keep searching instead of reaching....

Later....

[EcKo151]

I just find it hillarious how Phin fans forgave him, took him back, Saban gave him another shot...

Boom. The Goncha.

THANK YOU!..people act like he's such a horrible person

would you rather work hard every week of the year and play a stupid game where you're the backup for a team

OR would you rather do whatever you want, smoke some all the time > just have the time of your life?..

i know what i'd take...

PFT confirms this:ESPN disagrees. (To view links in this forum your post count must be 10 or greater. Your post count is 0 momentarily.)

Sources have told ESPN's Hank Goldberg that Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams' violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy is not a matter of a missed test. Williams has failed a drug test, the sources said, the substance for which he tested positive is not known.

I guess we'll have to wait and see who's sources are right.

[Poeman]

i think ricky is a very nice man, but hes just way into weed

[jetsaholic1094]

That's a shame...after all that work to regain the organization, players, and fans' trust. He was running pretty well near the end of the season, too.

Report: Williams appeals failed drug test

NFL.com wire reports

MIAMI (Feb. 21, 2006) -- Troubled running back Ricky Williams is appealing a positive drug test that could force the Miami Dolphins star to sit out the 2006 season, a person familiar with the case said.

If the positive test result is upheld, it would be Williams' fourth violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy, meaning at least a one-year suspension.


According to one source, Ricky Williams isn't sitting this fight out.
Previous positive tests were for marijuana, which Williams acknowledged using. But the latest test involved a drug other than marijuana, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because league policy is to keep test results confidential.

The Miami Herald reported Feb. 20 that two sources said Williams failed a test for a substance not publicly known. His latest positive test was first reported Feb. 19 by Denver television station KDVR.

A ruling on the appeal isn't expected until April. Williams, the 1998 Heisman Trophy winner and 2002 NFL rushing champion, is in India studying yoga and holistic medicine.

"Ricky Williams has been in outstanding behavioral mode for the past six months. No one should jump to any conclusions," said Williams' agent, Leigh Steinberg.

The Dolphins and the NFL declined to comment, citing the private nature of the league's drug program.

Williams retired and sat out the 2004 season. He owes the Dolphins $8.6 million for breaching his contract, and motivated at least partly by the need for a paycheck, he returned last year to play for new Miami coach Nick Saban.

Before being allowed to return, Williams served a four-game suspension at the start of the season for his third violation of the drug program.

Despite the long layoff and a limited workload, Williams ran for 743 yards and averaged 4.4 per carry while sharing playing time with rookie Ronnie Brown. Williams gained 280 yards in the final two games when Brown was hurt.

Saban and the Dolphins praised Williams' attitude, work ethic and leadership. Dispelling his reputation as an aloof, selfish pothead, Williams became such a model of good behavior that he was chosen co-winner of the local media's annual postseason Good Guy Award, given to the player most cooperative with reporters.

Williams laughingly described himself as weird and compared his career to a roller coaster. Since returning last season, the NFL has required him to undergo drug tests up to 10 times a month.
