    Link - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2867381<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Docs recommend delay of Williams' NFL reinstatementBy Chris MortensenESPN.comMiami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams tested positive for marijuana in April and will not be allowed to apply for reinstatement to the NFL until September, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Williams was suspended last year for violation of the substance abuse policy and was eligible to be reinstated this month, but the league's medical advisors that oversee Williams' personal rehabilitation program recently notified commissioner Roger Goodell of the positive test, sources said. The doctors also recommended that Williams not be allowed to apply for reinstatement until September, sources said. The commissioner usually adheres to the advice of the medical advisors under the substance abuse policy. "Falling off the wagon is part of rehab," a source said. "Based on the medical evidence in Ricky's case, the doctors say it's too early to come back. He had the positive test last month. Remember, he's been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder -- that's a real disease and a good percentage of those folks self-medicate with substances like marijuana, often at the moment they are about to have a high level of social interaction." League spokesman Greg Aiello said the NFL would have no comment, as did Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene. David Cornwell, an attorney who has represented Williams during his substance abuse cases, said he would honor the confidentiality policies in effect with another no comment.</div>

    Is this positive test # 4 or 5? He should be kicked out of the league for good

    4He should be, but if they can use the Anxiety as a case for reinstatement, he may just be allowed back. Usually it's 3 and out.

    I have more respect for a pot head than a repeat drunk driver.

    Even if they did let him back, he hasn't played in a few years, and he's up there in age now anyway. The CFL doesn't count as playing, so don't tell me that it counts.
