Maybe he doesn't realize that's a maple-leaf on the flag.

I kinda feel bad for the pothead. Did they ever say for sure which substance he (allegedly?) abused this time? The last I heard, he was vehemently denying any use and was going to fight the results. It's too bad really, he was playing pretty well by the end of the year last year and he obviously has a desire to play football at this point if he's going to the CFL.

Ricky might have his work cut out for him in Toronto:

The CFL has no formal drug testing policy, but Toronto president Keith Pelley said the team could conduct its own tests if the Miami Dolphins allow Williams to play for the Argonauts.

"It's something that we've talked about internally. ... Certainly, it would be an area that we would at least discuss," Pelley said during a conference call.

Pelley cautioned that the team isn't yet discussing drug testing and other contract demands with the 28-year-old Williams because he still needs permission from the Dolphins to speak directly with Argos officials.

Pelley said he expected to hear soon -- possibly by the end of the week -- on whether permission will be granted. He said the Dolphins are debating whether they would benefit if Williams kept playing while he sits out the 2006 NFL season, or whether the injury risk is too high.

Pelley said both Williams and Steinberg "thoroughly understand and appreciate" their requirement that Williams not only stay clean, but also promote a drug-free lifestyle to Toronto youth. The team has made conscious efforts in recent years to highlight their players as community role models, Pelley said.

"It is absolutely crucial that before we would proceed with Ricky Williams that he is prepared to be absolutely clean and more importantly, educate the youth of Toronto to say no to drugs," Pelley said. "If he's not prepared to do that, we would not sign him, even if he was prepared to play for free."

Who knows? He might actually like it in Canada. BC Bud is some of the most potent smoke available. I wish him well, but hope that he can stay clean.

This is gonna make the Argos more exciting, I'm gonna watch a few more games live.
