I doubt it.

I agree with you, but these players have a golden goose, and if you do something stupid to spoil it, it's your own fault.
Mike Richards really has no one to blame but himself here. He had it made and he goes and does something stupid like this?
The lesson here is, don't do drugs, it'll cost you.
And really, is Richards' drug use a cause of his poor play? If it is, then the Kings have every right to be pissed and terminate his contract. They signed him in good faith expecting the very best Mike Richards. Instead they get a guy who can no longer perform?
Nevermind the technicalities and legalalize, Richard's did not live up to his end of the bargain, that's a fact.
