The Enquirer and wire reports

Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams faces a $650,000 fine following his second violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, the Palm Beach Post reported. According to the report, Williams failed a drug test Dec. 10.

This follows a prior failed test soon after he arrived in Miami after being traded from the New Orleans Saints in May 2002. When reached by the paper, Williams said his status with the league was clear. "I'm in good standing with the NFL and the Dolphins," Williams told the Post. Sources, however, told the Post that Williams appealed the fine for this latest apparent transgression at the NFL headquarters April 16. Williams denied that his visit to NFL headquarters was related to a drug policy violation.

NCAA: Snyder derelict in duties

Missouri basketball coach Quin Snyder is accused by the NCAA of recruiting violations and providing meals and gifts of clothing for his own players, documents obtained by the Associated Press show.

Snyder is named in 17 allegations, dating between 1999 and last year, in the NCAA's formal notice of alleged rule violations. The university last week released the list of allegations with names of school employees and students blacked out.

But in response to an AP request under Missouri's open records law, the university provided a version Saturday naming the staffers. Students' names were still blacked out, with the school citing federal privacy law. The NCAA accused Snyder of recruiting violations including calling, making personal contact with and providing meals for prospective players. It also alleged Snyder provided meals and gifts for his players.

The university is to formally respond to the allegations by July 1, and hearings by the NCAA's infractions committee are scheduled Aug. 13-15 in Seattle.
