ans4e64 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 ok, so now we know that he did indeed fail the drug test, and its not just that he missed it. But i dont understand why they dont know what he failed the test with, and why they said it will take a while before everything is determined? Does anyone know why this is? i guess i just assumed that when one fails, you know what they had in their system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 He tried the Whitman Sampler of narfarious narcotics and dopey drugs. Who's to remember or say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will eventually leak out what the actual situation is, until then we can all speculate and assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 so if the nfl knows, why isnt he suspended already? if they dont know yet, will the suspension come before we even know what he tested positive for? 607584[/snapback] Ricky has appealed the suspension. He probably has something other than a drug interfere with the test. Ricky isnt stupid, so I doubt he actually did any drug knowing he would have a test.

Those rasta guys are much more well known for eating too many poppy seeds as opposed to smoking pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Now come on folks - we're all innocent until proven guilty. It could have been Propecia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Innocent until proven guilty indeed. The only problem is that he supposedly failed a drug test. Even in the most innocent of circumstances -- say he took a vitamin or a supplement that he didn't realize contained a banned substance -- it is still his responsibility to KNOW the ingredients of anything he puts in his body. Remember Jim Miller? With that said, remember a few years ago AFTER Leon Lett had already been suspended for a year for failing a 4th drug test -- and he failed a 5th? After an appeal his suspension was knocked down considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamsBuffetTable Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Chances are that pot caused the postiive since it can be detected for up to 6 weeks after the last smoke, depending on how heavy a smoker you are and personal chemistry. Most other drugs can't be detected much after 48 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Jim Miller? 607663[/snapback] Yeah...and Zach Lund...and Jose Theodore. I was just kidding - we all know that Ricky is guilty, and that he has no hair-loss problem.

IDBillzFan Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 To answer your question: it doesn't matter. Ricky did what Ricky needed to do. He went back to the Dolphins and carried the ball a few times so he didn't have to give the money back. That is past now and I strongly believe you'll see Ricky disappear again, this time without the weight of returning $8M on his shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
