The agent for suspended Toronto Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly says he and his client are looking into the CFL’s appeal process but haven’t decided whether to oppose the at least nine-game suspension handed down to the player by the league on Tuesday for violating its policy on gender-based violence.
Training camps open this week, and the Argonauts play their first regular-season game on June 9 at BMO Field. “Players are the ambassadors of our great game,” said CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie in a statement released Tuesday afternoon by the league. “They are expected to be leaders in the locker room and role models in the community. It was important that we performed our due diligence to properly review this matter from all points of view. That in-depth investigation found that Mr. Kelly unequivocally violated the CFL’s Gender-based Violence Policy.
Kelly’s indiscretions before coming to the CFL included being dismissed from his Clemson University team in 2014 for conduct detrimental to the team and being released by the NFL’s Denver Broncos after pleading guilty to second-degree criminal trespassing for entering the wrong home while intoxicated, following a party at the home of teammate Von Miller.
