Channel 7 in Miami is reporting that it looks like Ricky just failed another drug test. If true, he faces a one year suspension from the NFL.

There goes the R&R tandem, and any possible trade.

Dolphins' Williams tests positive for drug use
running back Ricky Williams faces at least a one-year suspension from the NFL after testing positive for drug use a fourth time under the league's substance abuse policy.
Two sources confirmed a report by WSVN-TV that Williams had failed the test, although neither would say the substance Williams used. On three previous occasions, Williams had tested positive for using marijuana.
Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene declined to comment 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 said.

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.

He's beyond being given the benefit of the doubt. He knows how important these tests are for his credibility......... makes me believe he would have been tested positive.

i for one would much rather have a been accused of smoking pot then beating my wife

The sad part is he would be better off, career wise, if he beat the crap out of some woman. Smoke some weed and the NFL will bounce you, beat your wife/ baby momma and you'll still have a job when you make bail.
