Miami Herald is changing their story. Apparently, Ricky MIGHT not have FAILED a drug test. Now they are saying he might have just missed a test, which in the eyes of the NFL is one and the same. HOWEVER, Ricky is traveling abroad in India, so he MAY have an excuse.
However, the second link is from ESPN reporting that he DID fail a test and it was NOT just a case of a missed test..... the plot thickens......

Brees to visit Dolphins; leaves Saints without dealAssociated Press
NEW ORLEANS -- Free-agent quarterback Drew Brees showed good mobility Sunday, completing a visit with the Saints in New Orleans and then flying to Miami to talk with Dolphins officials.
The meetings were confirmed by Brees' agent, Tom Condon. He declined to characterize negotiations but said a deal was unlikely before Monday at the earliest, with Brees planning to remain in Miami overnight.
"I'm not going to talk to the Dolphins until [Monday]," Condon said.
Miami coach Nick Saban and general manager Randy Mueller also met Saturday with Brees in Birmingham, Ala., where he has been rehabilitating his surgically repaired right shoulder.
Brees went to New Orleans later Saturday and left Sunday without a deal. The Saints and Dolphins are considered front-runners to sign Brees, the top quarterback available in free agency.
"Those are the two teams we have scheduled so far," Condon said.
The Dolphins are also considering a trade for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper. Miami wants to upgrade the position after going 9-7 last season with Gus Frerotte at quarterback.
The Saints are pursing Brees as a replacement for Aaron Brooks.
"You've got a young ascending player who's proven at this level he can win," Saints coach Sean Payton said.
Brees spent the last five seasons with the San Diego Chargers but reached a stalemate with them on a new contract.
Before leaving New Orleans, Brees said the devastation of Hurricane Katrina wouldn't dissuade him from joining the Saints. He said he helped build winning teams at Purdue and San Diego, and the challenge of doing the same with the Saints appealed to him.
"I think being a part of that would be a great opportunity," he said.
Brees tore the labrum and damaged the rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder in the final game last season and underwent surgery Jan. 5. He said Sunday that he faces another four or five months of recovery and doesn't anticipate any long-term effects.
There are also health questions regarding Culpepper, who has asked the Vikings to trade him. He tore three ligaments in his right knee Oct. 30.

Dolphins agree to deals with LB Hodge, CB GoodmanAssociated Press
MIAMI -- Free-agent linebacker Sedrick Hodge and cornerback Andre' Goodman agreed to contract terms with the Miami Dolphins, their agent said Monday.
Hodge and Goodman are expected to contend for starting jobs that became vacant when Miami released veterans Junior Seau and Sam Madison.
Hodge, who spent his first five NFL seasons with New Orleans, agreed to a two-year deal worth $2 million with up to $1 million in incentives, agent Brian Mackler said. Goodman, who spent his first four seasons with Detroit, agreed to a three-year, $5 million deal with a potential $2.5 million in incentives, Mackler said.
Dolphins general manager Randy Mueller drafted Hodge when he was with the Saints in 2001. Hodge made 51 tackles last season.
Goodman started eight games last year for the Lions and had a career-high three interceptions.
