You are correct. They have to cover the equivalent of 100% of rostered players but that doesn’t mean every player is tested each season. Some receive multiple tests. It’s my understanding the vast majority (like over 97%) are tested annually, leaving the remaining percentage to do multiple test on previous offenders.

Ya that’s it pullyourdong. The coach suggests the players to use banned substances. Man once again this is proof that keyboard imbeciles strike hard, fast and often. When they don’t have a clue what they are talking about. Just putting out crap to get their screen name out there.
The facts are this player was the property of the Argos. SK traded for Campbell. He then retired an Argo. After realizing how much he missed football he comes back to the CFL in August. Not in game shape.
So what ever the player does to try and get back into game shape is on them.
Then because 3 Down uses a popular Team name the little pukes come a trolling. I honestly wonder how some people get through life hating so much.

November based on previous article.

I thought I read somewhere that the number of random tests conducted per year is equal to the number of players in the CFL. Therefore, a pretty good chance a player is going to be tested sometime during the year. Luckily they don’t test for marijuana…

Glass houses and stones come to mind. Most every team will be hit with this at some point. I’m just glad that the system appears to be working…

4 seasons as an HC and this is the first player to receive a suspension for a banned substance. Your point, other than to throw shade at Jones?

Can’t speak specifically regarding how the CFL does its testing, but i know they source it out to the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport.

Drug tests usually take a long to to process from the time the sample is collected to actually analyzing the sample (about a month).

Regarding Olympic athletes, thheir drug testing procedure is quite intrusive. The athlete is required to fill out a timetable stating where they will be at what time on each day well in advance (I believe its 14 or 21 days). If this test did happen in the offseason (which it likely did, or sometime in late november), it is entirely possible that the anti-doping agents knew of his whereabouts, and therefore were able to locate him and test him.

Just want to reiterate that while this procedure is not CFL specific, it is very common for testing of Olympic athletes to be done this way by the CCES, who is also responsible for CFL testing.
