Ex-Middlesbrough forward Hamilton Ricard has been sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay a fine of $134,000 for causing the death of a pedestrian in 2002. The Colomibian, with 21 caps to his name, was speeding in Valle del Cuaca when he hit four people with his car. The second man sustained serious injuries in the accident.*Ricard has had a checkered career, playing for (at least) eight clubs, and having numerous off-the-field problems. The same year as his car accident, he was banned for twelve months for attacking a referee and making obscene gestures to the crowd while playing for Ecuadorian side Emelec. He currently plays for Danubio in Uruguay.

*Correction: I originally posted that Ricard had hit two people, he actually hit four. Apoligies for the mistake.
