Ricky Williams Reinstated

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has decided to reinstate Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams after a suspension that lasted 18 months because of Williams' violation of the league's substance abuse policy, sources told ESPN.
The Dolphins have been notified of the commissioner's decision. It is unknown if the team will welcome him back but it is expected they will have a two-week roster exemption to make that decision.
Williams met last week with league administrators who had raised concerns even though doctors at a Boston-area treament center where Williams spent a good portion of four months were very supportive for his reinstatement, sources said.
The administrators of the substance abuse policy were satisfied with Williams' response to their concerns, sources said, clearing the path for Goodell to reinstate him.
Williams also had written Goodell a personal letter of appeal that accompanied the medical data regarding his treatment since he had a positive test in April, which extended his one-year suspension.
Frankly I'm glad to hear that, I always liked Ricky. He was an outstanding back, he may have not made the best choices for his career, however he stood by his principles. For that I respect him. If you are for the legalization of marijuana I would think you should respect him too. This is a man that was highly scrutinized under the public eye and stood by his values. He got screwed over for it but hey at least he had the balls to do it.

Sticky Ricky FTW! The dolphins suck so much ass I don't see how they couldn't put him on the roster. If they got ricky back they might not go 0-16.
