According to ESPN.com, Ricky Williams tested positive for marijuana in April and will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement into the NFL until September now, if ever.
What surprise. So apparently all the talk about him being a new man and off the hippie lettuce juice was all a lie. How about that feature NFL Network did a couple weeks ago about him taking up yoga as his release? According the ESPN article, Williams was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and many people with that disease like to self medicate. Williams apparently self medicated with marijuana. Is smoking the reefer a huge deal? Many say no, but considering it’s illegal and – in the case of Williams – is being used to cover up deeper issues, I would say it is. Look Ricky, forget about football; just get yourself some real help.
