NFL suspends Williams

MIAMI (AP) – Ricky Williams will sit out another season.

The NFL suspended the troubled Miami Dolphins running back for one year Tuesday after he violated the league’s substance abuse policy for the fourth time.

Williams also sat out the 2004 season after retiring shortly before training camp. He returned last year to play for new Miami coach Nick Saban.

Williams’ previous positive drug tests were for marijuana, which he acknowledged using. The latest test apparently involved a substance other than marijuana and may have been related to his interest in holistic medicine.

Since his return last season, the NFL required Williams to undergo drug tests up to 10 times a month. He was in India studying yoga when news of his latest failed test surfaced in February.
