The Star: Royal Bank sues Michael Vick over loan

The legal woes of former NFL superstar quarterback Michael Vick took an unexpected Canadian twist today as the country's biggest financial institution, the Royal Bank of Canada revealed in court documents it's suing the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback for more than US$2.3 million.
The Toronto-based bank, which also does business in the U.S. South under its RBC Centura banner, is arguing that Vick's guilty plea on federal dogfighting charges and the resulting impact on his career have prevented him from repaying money he borrowed.
Vick borrowed $2.5 million from the Royal's private banking arm in January, with plans to use the money for real estate investments, the Toronto-based bank said in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Newport News, Va.

CP: Michael Vick tests positive for marijuana; judge imposes tighter restrictions

The disgraced Atlanta Falcons quarterback tested positive for marijuana earlier this month, a violation of the conditions of his release as he awaits sentencing in federal court on a dogfighting charge that already jeopardizes his freedom and career.
Now, he's incurred the ire of the judge who could sentence him to up to five years in prison in the dogfighting case. On the day of Vick's guilty plea, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson warned that he wouldn't be amused by any additional trouble.

20 years from now, his senate confirmation hearings probably won't go very smoothly.
