DALLAS -- Former Dallas defensive end Greg Hardy, who remains unsigned after a tumultuous 2015 season revolving around his domestic violence case in North Carolina, was arrested on a cocaine possession charge in Texas.Hardy was booked early Monday and later released on $5,000 bond in the Dallas suburb of Richardson on a charge of possession of a controlled substance of less than one gram, jail spokesman Tim Weed said.The 28-year-old Hardy signed with Dallas as a free agent last year after Carolina decided not to bring him back as a result of the domestic violence case.Hardy was suspended for the first four games last season over the domestic incident, and his production with the Cowboys dropped off considerably after photos of bruised ex-girlfriend Nicole Holder were posted by Deadspin.The 2013 Pro Bowl player was pulled over late Sunday night for failure to signal a left turn, and a search of his vehicle revealed the cocaine and an item containing marijuana remnants, according to police documents.The former player told police he didnt know what was in a bag that police said contained cocaine, and Hardy said somebody gave him the bag at a party the previous night.Police said a substance that tested positive for cocaine was found in his wallet, but Hardy said he had been passing around his wallet at the party because he was paying for everybody and that must have been when the baggie was put in his wallet, according to the police report.Hardys agent, Drew Rosenhaus, declined to comment. The NFL didnt immediately respond to a request for comment.The police report also made reference to a couple of gun club membership cards in Hardys wallet. When the NFL suspended Hardy for 10 games over his domestic case, the league cited the presence of guns in his apartment in the ruling. An arbitrator reduced the ban to four games.Hardy was convicted by a judge in the North Carolina case, but prosecutors dropped the case during his appeal because Holder couldnt be located to testify. Prosecutors said they believed Hardy had reached a settlement with Holder over the incident.Despite strong criticism for signing Hardy, Dallas owner Jerry Jones said early last season that he wanted to give the pass rusher a long-term contract.But after several missteps by Hardy and his late-season decline, Jones said during the NFL draft that the Cowboys wouldnt pursue another deal with him, even though they would be missing starters DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory on season-opening suspensions for substance abuse.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuylerKansas City Royals Pro Shop .

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding.Clinton McDonald is looking elsewhere with one of his two VOBIS Gold Bullion entries because he believes the conditions of the race make it hard for lower-rated horses.McDonald has Schneller and Castelo in Saturdays 1400m race at Pakenham but the trainer said he would probably run Castelo in a benchmark 70 at Geelong on Sunday as he was too close in the weights to the likes of Group winner Burning Front who won the corresponding race a year ago.The Caulfield trainer believes the race, which is restricted to horses nominated for the VOBIS Gold Series, does not need to be a set weights plus penalties event and would be better off as a handicap with a bigger spread in weights.Its set weights plus penalties, so a horse like Burning Front is a 100-rater and Castelo is a 65-rater and youre getting three kilos off a horse like that, McDonald said.Its set up for the best horse in the race.It should be a handicap, I think, to make it a little bit fairer for the other horses. Because looking at it, how do you beat a horse like that.Hes a Group Three winner and hes carryingg 60 kilos in a restricted race.ddddddddddddMcDonald was hoping the race would be weaker.But as always when theres good prize money on offer theyve got a good field together which is fantastic for the scheme, so well probably end up running Castelo at Geelong on Sunday, he said.McDonald, however, pinpointed the VOBIS Gold Bullion as a target for Schneller who he says is in really good order for Saturday.Schneller won benchmark 70 races at Hamilton and Bendigo in October before finishing third in a 1200m handicap at Ballarat last Saturday week.We spotted this race about a month ago and after his two wins in a row we backed off him and then kicked him off again at Ballarat, looking at getting him to this race, McDonald said.The horse is well, the jockey (Linda Meech) is in form and the horse is in form, so hell run really well.Lucky Liberty is the $4.40 favourite ahead of Rough Justice and Septamore at $6, while Burning Front is at $11.
