Dolphins | Lawyer ready to present Williams' appeal Monday
Sat, 8 Apr 2006 21:03:53 -0700
Harvey Fialkov, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports attorney David Cornwell is ready to present Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams' appeal Monday, April 10. Cornwell said he has taken on a "substantial number" of NFL player cases after which his clients either didn't face any discipline or received lighter discipline than many expected. It has not been made public what substance caused a positive result for Williams in a December test. "I have two circumstances of unknowing ingestion where we won our appeal," said Cornwell. "The players were notified they had a substance in their bodies. We notified (the NFL Management Council) it was a mistake." Fort Lauderdale attorney Gary Ostrow also has experience with Williams in appeals and doubts Cornwell and Williams will win this one. Williams was unavailable for comment. His agent, Leigh Steinberg, said Williams told him that he hasn't used illegal drugs since deciding to return to football last year.

Lets hope so...if Ricky wins it will be for me the happiest day of the year so far. Man that would be awesome because I have some doubts about him winning.
 
i honestly think Ricky is innocent and that he will be cleared. if he isnt smoking marijuana what could he possibly have knowingly put in his body? he's not the 'roid type, he's not the hard drug type (a la micheal irvin), if Ricky is on coke than we all must be dead, because he's about as low key as they come. he probably has been taking some herbal supplements and something showed up. i've heard something like unidentified substances can cause the test to come up positive, but unfortunately i dont remember where i read it.
 
it seems that the herbs from holistic medicineis what caused the failed test...if thats the case he should win the appeal...
 
I don't think whoever is hearing the appeal will make his decision on Monday. But I do think they will say when the team and ricky can expect the ruling.
 
They will win the appeal because it was a Yoga supplement.Yay RICKY and RONNIE to the superbowl!
 
I Beleive him! i'm into the holistic spplements and treatments myself. and they can produce positive results on a drug test.

My sentiments exactly. Will they have a ruling the same day of the appeal? If so that would be great.

I didnt know it would be so fast since these court deals usually take awhile to be fully processed and taken care of.
