Dolphins | Williams' appeal set for April 10
Tue, 28 Mar 2006 10:47:42 -0800

Alex Marvez, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams will have his appeal heard April 10 at the league's offices in New York City. Williams will miss the 2006 season if his appeal fails, as this was the fourth drug test he has failed. He tested positive for marijuana the three previous drug tests, but is unknown what substance caused him to fail the fourth test.

Hmmmmm.

It doesn't matter. He will fail another test before the season starts if he wins his appeal.

Old Dude · 03-28-2006, 01:56 PM

Just curious. When's the last time anyone won a drug suspension appeal in the NFL?

Garcia Bronco · 03-28-2006, 01:58 PM

Let's say he wins his appeal...still one failed drug test away from a year's vacation.

I don't think you hear about it.

Jason in LA · 03-28-2006, 04:17 PM

One player one his appeal last year. I forgot the player's name.

watermock · 03-28-2006, 04:34 PM

It was a masking agent or some herb...I guesss that is the issue at stake.

2KBack · 03-28-2006, 04:37 PM

wait, for him to have failed, doesn't the substance have to be on the banned list? How do they not know what the substance is?

they do but they are not allowed to tell the public. Odds are he took something that he would have been ok to take had he told them that he was taking it.

Hmmm, sounds potentially innocent. I guess most of the drama really is based on his history.

just for the record, I'd still take him.

I'd love to see Ricky Williams in a Bronco uniform but I'm a little conflicted because I also want to see Ron Dayne have his chance to start.

ludo21 · 03-28-2006, 04:50 PM

one drug test away.................

just say NO

Absolutely -- I do not want this guy under any circumstances

HEAV · 03-28-2006, 05:56 PM

Not sure if the fish or RW34 would want to deal with Denver anymore. THe leak came from the Denver camp.

How would you have any idea that he took something that was "ok to take had he told them that he was taking it."?

There are no "somethings" that you can take just because you give the league advance notice unless you have a medical condition that requires taking a drug on the banned list that is physician prescribed.

He does have a medical condition Beerslug. It's why he wears a dark visor at times.

The medical term for it is the "munchies" I think.

Which means he'll come cheap.

It's not too much of a stretch. He's failed what, three drug tests in four years?

I find it hard to believe he'll just turn a new leaf in one offseason and not smoke it instead!

At least we'll have a new bang cartoon and 50 page thread to look forward to when his apeal is heard!

MAke it incentive based. If he fails and he is out of the league Denver loses nothing and Ron Dayne And Bell are our RBs, BUT if he stays clean, Denver has one of the best RBs in the league to go along with one of the best running schemes. Williams if healthy will gain 1,800 yards as the Denver Bronco RB!

People are ASSuming he smoked it this time around.

The guy is into holistics right now. People in holistics take herbs to aid the elimination of toxins in their bodies. Many of those herbs are tested for because they happen to work well at eliminating THC from the system. One of those herbs is something called Golden Seal, which people in holistic medicine swear by as a way to keep your system flushed of all types of toxins and keeps your energy levels high. Ricky could be completely clean, and has just been drinking herbal teas that contain Goldenseal in it, and he's going to get flagged for a masking agent.

If Ricky turned over a new leaf, it didn't happen this offseason... It happened in the year that he was out of football.

I see you got the memo from his agent!

I'm just going by the nature of the beast.

If he signed for the vet minimum with our RB depth, it might be worth a risk...

Williams did say money isn't that important. Now I know football players say that all the time and it's never true but if there is one athlete that actually might mean it it's Ricky Williams.
