Minnesota Judge Gary Larson is expected to release a ruling that is critical to at least three NFL players, including Minnesota Vikings Pat Williams and Kevin Williams and New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith.
All of the three are facing the same four-game suspension after testing positive for the same banned diuretic found in the over-the-counter weight-loss supplement StarCaps before the 2008 season. Smith actually has stopped making efforts to fight the suspension, but because the two Vikings players are still attempting to avoid the suspension with the support of Minnesota labor laws, his suspension has not been carried out as the league has to wait until the Williamses’ case is decided.
Therefore, after long-time debate, Larson’s ruling will finally lead things to a conclusion, not the end actually, as the losing side is expected to appeal to the Minnesota court of appeals for further arbitration. But at least, we can expect to know whether Smith could put on his Saints jersey to play at the beginning of regular season or four games later.
