Williams reportedly Appeals Failed Drug Test

Dolphins' running back Ricky Williams is reportedly appealing a positive drug test that could force the Miami Dolphins' star to sit out the 2006 season, according to an AP source.

If the positive test result is upheld, it would be Williams' fourth violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy, meaning at least a one-year suspension.

Positive tests in the past have been for marijuana, which Ricky has acknowledged using. But the latest test appears to involve a different drug according to the source. (who spoke on condition of anonymity of course) So much for drug test confidentiality!

The Miami Herald reported Monday that two sources said Williams failed a test for a substance not publicly known. His latest positive test was first reported Sunday by Denver television station KDVR.
