LOS ANGELES: Disgraced football star Michael Vick was released from prison on Wednesday and headed home, hoping to rebuild a reputation ruined by his role in a brutal dogfighting ring and regain a place in the National Football League.
The former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, who spent 18 months behind bars, left the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, around 0900 GMT accompanied by his fiancee, after evading reporters who had camped out at the prison.
"He was released this morning," Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Traci Billingsley told AFP.
