Judge rules Ricky Williams owes millions to Miami Dolphins
MIAMI, Feb 15 (AFP) - Ricky Williams must repay the Miami Dolphins 8.6 million dollars in bonus money he received from the American football club, a federal judge ruled here Tuesday, according to news reports.
The controversial running back, who retired without warning last July, must return the money after federal judge James Cohn upheld an arbitrator's decision from September, saying the ruling was not excessive and was legal.
Williams rushed for 3,225 yards and 25 touchdowns in two seasons with the Dolphins. His absence was a major blow for the Dolphins, who went 4-12 last year in the National Football League.
The amount Williams owes includes 5.3 million dollars in contract incentives paid over the past two years to Williams and 3.3 million dollars from a pro-rated signing bonus paid to him by New Orleans, which took him in the 1999 NFL Draft.
