Ricky Williams in trouble again?

It looks like he may have missed a test. I Hope thats what it is. I hope he did not get popped again.
Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams has violated the NFL's substance abuse policy for a fourth time and is facing a one-year suspension from the league, Denver television station KDVR reported on Sunday.
The Miami Herald, citing two sources of its own, confirmed the station's report that Williams has violated the policy, although neither source would say whether Williams had failed a drug test or if he had missed a required test, which also is a violation.
An NFL spokesman told ESPN that the NFL had no comment on the report.
Williams has tested positive for marijuana three times and served a four-game suspension when he returned to the NFL last season following a one-year retirement.
Dolphins coach Nick Saban told ESPN he was not aware that Williams had tested positive and he was not allowed to comment, citing the confidential nature of the league's substance-abuse policy.
Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene declined to comment when reached by the Herald on Sunday night.
"Because of the confidential nature of the league's substance abuse policy, we can't comment on any aspect of that program," Greene told the newspaper.
Williams was also fined the equivalent of four weeks' salary after his second and third violations of the NFL policy, in December 2003 and the 2004 offseason.
His mother, Sandy Williams, told the Palm Beach Post she would be "shocked" if her son would use marijuana again and strongly doubts that is the case.
Sandy Williams told the newspaper her son is currently in India and that they had not spoken of late. She speculated that he could have tested positive for a legal supplement he is taking in connection with his yoga studies.
"I'll bet my life he's not smoking marijuana," she told the Post on Sunday. "He's so particular about what he puts in his body now. I would just be shocked. I just don't believe he's smoking weed."
"I'm thinking maybe it was one of his [legal] supplements for his yoga school. I really just don't believe he's smoking weed."

He wouldn't have missed it 4 times if he had nothing to hide.
They should suspend him already.

Ricky is toast if this holds to be true. I hope not.

you know, im all for smoking pot and doing what you want with your body, but im also a big supporter of "hey, lets not be a dumbass" campaign.
If i was offered a 20 million dollar contract to play a game for 3-4 years without smoking a single joint i know id do it. IME its not a hard choice between making enough money to last you a lifetime or smoking pot.
The same thing applies to the drug tests, fuck, think of the 20 million as prize money for passing all the tests. Point is, ricky williams is a dumbass, there are other words id use but im keeping those to myself. If he can't realize how good he has it, buckle down and do his "job" for a few years and pass a few lousy drug tests, then he deserves to get the boot AND pay the money he owes to the dolphins for breach of contract.
