Ricky Williams Suspended for 2006

Same story, new year. The NFL suspended Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams for the entire 2006 season. Why? Williams violated the league's substance abuse policy for the fourth time. The league announced the suspension after the NFL denied an appeal of his latest positive drug test. Williams said the following in a statement released by the team: "I'm proud of my association with the National Football League and look forward to returning to the Dolphins in 2007."
