Docs recommend delay of Williams' NFL reinstatementBy Chris Mortensen
ESPN.com

Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams tested positive for marijuana in April and will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement to the NFL until September, sources said.

Williams was suspended last year for violation of the substance abuse policy and was eligible to be reinstated this month, but the league's medical advisors that oversee Williams' personal rehabilitation program recently notified commissioner Roger Goodell of the positive test, sources said.

The doctors also recommended that Williams not be allowed to apply for reinstatement until September, sources said. The commissioner usually adheres to the advice of the medical advisors under the substance abuse policy.

"Falling off the wagon is part of rehab," a source said. "Based on the medical evidence in Ricky's case, the doctors say it's too early to come back. He had the positive test last month. Remember, he's been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder -- that's a real disease and a good percentage of those folks self-medicate with substances like marijuana, often at the moment they are about to have a high level of social interaction."

League spokesman Greg Aiello said the NFL would have no comment, as did Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene.

David Cornwell, an attorney who has represented Williams during his substance abuse cases, said he would honor the confidentiality policies in effect with another no comment.

Oh and to all you thug lovers out there, who defended this loser saying he's clean and we were wrong to prejudge him...guess what we were right. Still want this piece of crap on your team? Not only is he still a pothead, but he's also one of the biggest liars around.

Good thing we didn't pick him up. Although, I'm sure the Rams would have had a clause in the contract regarding this reoccurring problem. What a waste.

"ESPN.com reports that Ricky Williams tested positive for marijuana in April and will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement to the NFL until September.

This report is quite different from last season, when Williams reportedly was suspended for missing a test. We already suspected that Williams' Dolphins career is over. This will make it that much harder for him to play in 2007 for any team. Or ever again. Even if he's reinstated, which is shaky at best, missing camp will be a problem."

Um, don't you have to get ON the wagon before you can fall off?? This guy is a pathetic joke who has obviously set his priorities, and the NFL is not one of them. What a waste.

He only plays on grass!

I was one of the ppl who wanted him. I defended him... yes. But I never said he wasn't smoking mj. Or going too. I still think he is good enough to be a 2nd back to SJ. Weed or not this guy has proven himself. But either way. It really can't be that hard to stop smoking weed even for a few weeks or months to get reinstated. This is a little much.

Dan Patrick is on recard of asking Ricky how long it had been since he (Ricky)had gotten "high" to which Ricky responded, "It's been about 3 years".

Maybe Dan should have been more specific and asked, "how long has it been since you smoked weed?.

He could have played for us under the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, right?
