Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth may have a reason for his absence as the Titans take part in voluntary workouts. Haynesworth is being sued for $10 million by a Brooklyn exotic dancer who claims he impregnated her and then abandoned the situation. Court papers allege that Haynesworth has refused to talk to her since late March or give her any money toward her medical bills. He signed a $100 million contract with the Redskins last year.

Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor's attorney said Saturday evidence will show the linebacker did have "some contact" with a 16-year-old girl. Taylor was arraigned on charges of third-degree rape and patronizing a prostitute on Friday. Arthur Aidala, who is defending Taylor, still insists that Taylor did not rape or have intercourse with anybody at the Holiday Inn in Montebello, N.Y. "I think that the investigation will bear out that he was in contact with her that night," Aidala said Friday in an appearance on the Mike Francesa show on WFAN radio. "What exactly happened, I wasn't there. I think that the evidence will show that there was some contact between the two, but it wasn't sex. Lawrence is saying they did not have sex. I believe he said that. Again I don't have the statement [Taylor made to the police]. He said he did not have sex with her."

Defensive rookie of the year Brian Cushing learned he is being suspended four games for violating the NFL's steroid policy, according to league sources. Cushing appealed the league's decision at a hearing at the NFL scouting combine in February but was informed Friday his appeal had been rejected, according to sources. Cushing's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, did not return telephone calls seeking comment.

According to court documents, the runaway woman that is accusing Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor of rape told the ex-Giant she was 19, not 16. Authorities say the man that set up the pairing told the woman to lie to Taylor about her age. Rasheed Davis was charged with sex trafficking of a child in a federal complaint filed Friday in Manhattan federal court. Taylor was charged Thursday with third-degree rape and patronizing a prostitute.

A Minnesota judge has sided with the NFL in a lawsuit by Minnesota Vikings Kevin Williams and Pat Williams challenging their four-game suspensions for violating the NFL's anti-doping policy. The NFL first attempted to suspend the defensive tackles in December 2008 after they tested positive for a banned diuretic that was in the StarCaps weight-loss supplement they were taking. The players argued that the NFL broke state labor law when it applied its drug policy. The decision doesn't necessarily clear the way for the NFL to suspend the players. The judge will hold a hearing Thursday afternoon on whether to grant a temporary injunction pending an appeal.

A legislative proposal to build a new stadium for the Vikings is on shaky ground. The team is seeking a $791 million new stadium to get out of the aging Metrodome. A committee in the Minnesota House voted against the plan and a Senate committee overhauled the bill Wednesday before approving it. The new version would still rely on the team for a third of the cost while raising an unspecified amount by selling permanent seats.

Former NFL running back Corey Dillon has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting his wife at their California home. The Los Angeles County sheriff's office says deputies went to Dillon's Calabasas home Saturday after his wife, Desiree, called 911. The sheriff's office says the couple argued over a pending divorce and child custody issues and she had minor injuries. Dillon was released after posting $50,000 bail.

A gang member convicted of killing Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams in a drive-by shooting was sentenced Friday to life in prison. Willie Clark, 26, was convicted of first-degree murder in the New Year's Day 2007 slaying of Williams after a confrontation at a nightclub.
