I wonder if the Abe talk has quashed Denver's willingness to trade for Ricky.If his appeal is upheld, I think the chance that he ends up in Denver is as good as it was before this whole affair...perhaps even better given that his price may be a bit lower. With Anderson gone Denver is almost certainly in the market for another back. If the price is right, I believe Williams could fit the bill.
there have been. Sorry I don't recall whosomeone give me a case of a player that was NOT suspended after reports of a failed test came out.
I know of none.
No shot to win apeal
i seem to recall a saints LB winning this type of appeal last year...but i'm not positive (pun intended)voted 50/50 but if he does win his appeal i'm guessing that he's much less likely to be traded than beforethere have been. Sorry I don't recall whosomeone give me a case of a player that was NOT suspended after reports of a failed test came out.

http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/9251778Read the last paragraph. Because of confidentiallity we dont hear about a lot. Though I'm pretty sure its rare that a player wins an appeal.someone give me a case of a player that was NOT suspended after reports of a failed test came out.

Even if there has been a successful appeal, has it ever been for a players with as many positive tests as Ricky?someone give me a case of a player that was NOT suspended after reports of a failed test came out.

I heard the NFL's only response to this question was "Not 6. Definitely not 6."Does anyone know what "drug" the NFL claims to have found in Williams?
This has happened to quite a few players I believe. Mike Cloud had a steroid in one of his supplements that simply wasnt listed on the ingrediants label. He lost his appeal. Not knowing what a supplement contains wont win a grievance at least not by itself. There are plenty of other scenarios including false positives and the amount of the substance required to produce a positive. Due to confidentiality, we neither know what Ricky's case is, nor do we know the situations of players who have previously won an appeal.i'm pretty sure sgt. pepper's LHCB case was not for a natural herb/remedy... i don't have a link, but i thought it was more like a speed-related substance from amphetamine class of drugs...
in his case he claimed to not know (i happened to believe him), as whatever he took was at behest of incompetent "nutritionist"... but in that case, ignorance wasn't a defense...
Seriously. And What team would be crazy enough to gamble on a guy who has been suspended as many times as Ricky. Anyone who signs him is playing with fire, and I dont think even Shanny has the balls to do that (not with an almost-SB-ready team). In the ridiculous scenario that he wins his appeal, Saban will probly keep him around, but he will have no trade value.Even if there has been a successful appeal, has it ever been for a players with as many positive tests as Ricky?someone give me a case of a player that was NOT suspended after reports of a failed test came out.

what full story? was Ricky the second gunman on the Grassy Knoll?? are you hiding something from us?!? lol50/50. The public doesn't have the full story here. Anything could have happened.
LMAO-Grassy Knoll(maybe the full story is Denver let Anderson go because they know already Ricky is going to win his appeal. Sexy thought) (And B.S.)The breakdown of 120 vote is stunning to me. If you are a football fan you know these appeals are just not won. And IF they ever are, there are VERY few.what full story? was Ricky the second gunman on the Grassy Knoll?? are you hiding something from us?!? lol50/50. The public doesn't have the full story here. Anything could have happened.
Last I heard, he was flying back from India to meet Ontario Smith in the airport.Updates?
Is Michael Irvin picking them up from the airport???Last I heard, he was flying back from India to meet Ontario Smith in the airport.Updates?

Everyone knows he is eccentric. If there is a herbal suppliment that mimics a banned substance it needs to be brought to light. I guess if he had eaten a bagel with poppy seeds he needs banned too.Can you really believe Williams . No not at all.He is a bum and deserves to be banned for life.Dolphins | R.

Ricky Williams' appeal of a positive drug test has been set for early April, according to a source. Williams is expected to attend the hearing in New York, along with his attorney David Cornwell.
Williams, who was scheduled to return Sunday to the United States after spending time in India, tested positive for an unknown substance that sources have said is not marijuana. The positive test, the fourth for Williams, could result in him being suspended for the entire 2006 season if the appeal is not successful.
