TORONTO – Running back Roy Finch of the Calgary Stampeders has been suspended two games for violating the CFL’s drug policy.
The CFL announced Monday that Finch tested positive for a banned substance (D-amphetamine).
Players receive a two-game suspension for a first doping violation.
A second offence results in a nine-game suspension. The penalty is a year-long suspension for a third violation with a fourth resulting in a lifetime ban.
While Finch can’t play in Calgary’s next two games, it’s up to the club to determine if he’ll be allowed to practise and attend team meetings while suspended.
