BC fullback receives two-game ban for positive test
TORONTO – Under the Canadian Football League (CFL) and the CFL Players’ Association’s joint drug policy, BC fullback Jacob Bond has been suspended for two games after testing positive for the banned substance D-amfetamine, which is classified as a non-specified stimulant on the policy’s Prohibited List.
Players who violate the policy receive a two-game suspension for a first violation, a nine-game suspension for a second, a one-year suspension for a third, and a lifetime ban for a fourth.
Under the policy, suspended players cannot participate in regular season or postseason games. It is at the Club’s discretion whether to allow players to participate in other team activities, such as practices or meetings.
All players are subject to mandatory drug testing following a violation of the policy. They are also required to participate in an assessment and clinical evaluation to determine if additional counselling is required.
Testing across the league is ongoing and is conducted year-round.
