Looks like Ricky Williams really is a big pothead

[TheNinja]

Williams told the newspaper that marijuana played a larger role in his retirement than he indicated when he walked away after just five pro seasons. He said he learned of the failed test and possible suspension days before telling coach Dave Wannstedt last week that he was through playing.

Williams said, however, that there were ``a hundred reasons'' for his surprising decision to retire, and his desire to continue smoking marijuana was only one of them.

``I didn't quit football because I failed a drug test,'' he told the Herald. ``I failed a drug test because I was ready to quit football.''

Williams said he's not addicted to marijuana


Report: Williams says he failed third drug test before quitting

Screw him. At this point I don't want his dumb ass on the team. He will be nothing but a cancer in the lockeroom.

Dro never hurt anyone. It's so dumb how its illegal.

Although, it does give you a hell of a cough.

I don't think the ganja is a big deal. Heck, a lot of people smoke weed in this country.. However, he called out the entire league basically saying they all use masking agents and walked out on the Dolphins 1 freaking week before training camp. The team is DONE!

If I won the lottery for 5 or 10 million, I'd quit my job. He has plenty in the bank to live a nice comfortable lifestyle. I don't blame him one bit. However, his timing on the decision was a dick move.

I'm not saying weed is bad. I'm simply saying that if the need to smoke weed was so strong that he quit football so he could continue to smoke it, then he says he's not addicted.....well he is just plain full of crap. Looks like he basically failed the drug test on purpose and said he's smoke weed most of his career but he just uses masking agents (meaning a ton of other guys probably do to). This is like Canseco blowing the whistle on 'roids. Yes we all know athletes are juicing up and we all know the athletes are smoking dope (the professional leagues and the owners know too don't kid yourself), but we all act like it doesn't happen and we catch a few people now and then to make it look clean. In effect we really don't care as long as the product is good, but we have the testing to ease our consciences and make us believe that the playing field is level and the athletes are clean.


ummm, sort of went off on a tangeant there....sorry

So is he moving to Jamaica now?

He'll need to be good and cooked when that bill from the Dophins for $8,000,000 in contract penalties hit's his mailbox.

Who cares if he smokes weed, he walked away at a bad time.

I support him for leaving pro sports. Its his life to do what he wants to.

:shocked:

It's not so much that he left, it's just that he really screwed the team by leaving 1 week after the best two Free agent running backs had just signed with other teams. He can smoke weed until he grows dreads and becomes a secluded wacko for all I care (....oh wait) but he shouldn't say it had nothing to do with it and he shouldn't have bailed on the team like that.
