Guess steroids aren't such a big deal
Ricky Williams, Dolphins running back who has had more than a few run-ins with the NFL's drug testers, is going to play for the Toronto Argonauts in the Canadian Football League next year, for one year only, until his NFL suspension is up.

The Argonauts have two other former N.F.L. first-round draft choices who have been barred from that league for violating its substance-abuse policy too many times: receiver R. Jay Soward, the 29th pick in the 2000 draft; and defensive end Bernard Williams, the 14th selection in 1994. The Argonauts also have receiver Robert Baker, who spent 10 months in prison for distributing and trafficking cocaine.
