NFL Reinstates Ricky Williams

(Miami, Florida) Having walked away from professional football to pursue a life of smoking dope, Miami Dolphins running back changed his mind and decided to return to the game. The NFL obliged and granted early reinstatement, so he's heading to the Dolphins training camp. His teammates seem quite willing to welcome Williams back.

The terms of the reinstatement include 10 random drug tests per month for as long as he plays with the stipulation that he'll be suspended for a year for a failed or missed test. Nonetheless, he must still serve a four-game suspension stemming from a failed drug test last year.

This is all well and good but I don't believe Williams will be able to resist backsliding. The call of the pipe will likely overrule his presumed will and principles.
