ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgias two leading tacklers will be able to play against No. 14 Florida after being cleared in a marijuana investigation.The school announced Monday that inside linebackers Natrez Patrick and Roquan Smith violated no university policies that would require a suspension.Athletic director Greg McGarity said the investigation included drug testing, which was negative for both student-athletes.Police were called to Patricks dormitory room shortly after an Oct. 15 loss to Vanderbilt. A resident assistant reported the smell of pot, but no drugs were found and neither player was charged.Patrick is the Bulldogs leader with 42 tackles, followed by Smith with 39. Both are sophomores.Patrick served a one-game suspension last year after being arrested for marijuana possession.Since November 2015, I have dedicated myself to moving forward, he said in a statement released by the school. Im blessed to have done that despite hurdles Ive had to clear. This incident was simply another hurdle and I was confident I would successfully clear it. Ill continue to move forward and Im anxious to play on Saturday.Smith said he has followed athletic department rules and was happy this situation has been rightfully resolved.The decision was good news for first-year coach Kirby Smart, whose team is looking to bounce back from a shocking loss to Vanderbilt that likely ended any hopes of contending in the SEC East.The Bulldogs (4-3, 2-3) were off last week.Im happy for these two young men, Smart said Monday. They get to move on to football and not have to deal with the distraction. I will say that on the field both of these two young men have been exemplary leaders, especially for sophomores.He added that he has no problem with Georgias drug policies, which are among the toughest in the SEC. A football player who violates the marijuana provisions faces a one-game suspension for the first offense, and repeat offenders are subject to a four-game ban.Im a team player when it comes to policy, Smart said. Do I think that we live in a society thats a little bit different now than it was back whenever? Sure, I do. But I also believe in what we have, and we know and accept the rules that weve been charged with.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

Wellington Phoenix general manager David Dome admits finding the right successor to Ernie Merrick is the most important decision in the A-League clubs history.The Phoenixs shortlist is down to five names with Dome hopeful of settling on a new coach by Christmas.South Melbourne coach Chris Taylor is reportedly in the mix while those previously linked to the job include Mark Rudan, Luciano Trani, Auckland City coach Ramon Tribulietx, and caretakers Chris Greenacre and Des Buckingham.In the context of the clubs long-term A-League future and the red-hot expansion debate, it is a decision Dome acknowledges the club simply cannot get wrong.Its absolutely crucial this club is in the finals this year, and if were not in the finals series, were going to be in trouble - theres no doubt about that, Dome told AAP.We have to be top six, if not top four, and we identified top four at the start of the season. Its not impossible.The next coach has to come in and take us to the next level, and thats important for us.The expansion landscape has added a greater sense of urgency about the Phoenixs precarious position.Around a dozen parties are knocking on the door to join an expanded A-League in 2018-19, while the New Zealand club is no guarantee of remaining in the competition beyond the 20199-20 season.ddddddddddddLast year, they were nearly axed to make way for a third Sydney team, but were granted a new four-year licence with further extensions conditional on improvements in key metrics like attendances and TV ratings.Ten weeks into the new season and average crowds and memberships are marginally down, but Dome reckons thats because the Phoenix are more reliant on results to attract local interest than other teams.Far from pushing the panic button, he believes the building blocks for success are in place.The key is a coach who can unlock the clubs potential.Were very sensitive to that, we do need to get those metrics up to retain the licence, 100 per cent, Dome said.Overall in terms of the metrics, were not in a bad space.Of course we want more people coming to games, we understand youre not going to get that when youre bottom of the table.We know historically, when we are doing well, we get decent numbers, north of 10,000, which is where we need to be.If we can do that, the whole thing takes off - the country becomes obsessed with the Phoenix.Currently ninth on the ladder, the Phoenix host Western Sydney in Auckland on Saturday.
