Former All Black Ali Williams has been convicted of buying cocaine outside a Paris nightclub and fined 1,500 euros (NZ$2300) by a French court. Investigators alleged that the 35-year-old Williams was the one who bought the cocaine, although he tested negative for the drug. Williams' current club, Paris' Racing 92, has said the 2011 World Cup winner will "soon" be fired over the incident. Last month Racing 92 president Jacky Lorenzetti told Midi Olympique magazine that "unfortunately, Ali Williams will soon be dismissed".
