What A Waste

A federal judge knocked Olympic boxer Ricardo Williams Jr. out of the ring for at least three years Wednesday.

The 23-year-old Williams, a silver medalist at the 2000 Olympics, was sentenced to three years in prison for his part in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

Prosecutors accused Williams and two others of trying to pick up a package of drugs shipped to Cincinnati via FedEx. U.S. District Judge S. Arthur Spiegel could have sentenced Williams to 10 years or more.
