» NYCScribe - Staying retired after all? Ricky Williams rejected a deal that would have allowed him to serve a four-game drug suspension this season and return to the NFL next year.The 1998 Heisman Trophy winner needed to let the league know by today so he could be moved from the retired list to the suspended list by the deadline. He would have served the suspension for the Miami Dolphins' final four games, starting Dec. 12 at Denver. The talks to allow Williams back into the league involved a promise to return to the field next season and to re-enter the NFL drug program immediately, including being tested on a regular basis. Williams has social-anxiety disorder and was a spokesman for an anti-depressant. He said marijuana helped him after he stopped using the anti-depressant. The eccentric ex-Running Back is currently enrolled in a 17-month course at the California College of Ayurveda in Grass Valley, Calif., studying holistic medicine. -- posted by NYCScribe
