TORONTO — Suspended quarterback Chad Kelly met with CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie on Friday.
Two league sources confirmed the meeting, which came after Kelly missed a ninth regular-season game with the Toronto Argonauts as per the suspension he received from the CFL before the start of the '24 campaign. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity as the CFL didn't publicly announce that Ambrosie was meeting with Kelly.
On May 7, the CFL suspended Kelly for both of Toronto's exhibition games and at least its first nine regular-season contests for violating its gender-based violence policy. The decision followed an independent investigation into a lawsuit filed against Kelly and the Argos by a former strength-and-conditioning coach.Toronto's 39-25 home win over Calgary last Friday night was its ninth regular-season game. The Argos are currently on a bye week and return to action Aug.
Under terms of the CFL's suspension, Kelly had to undergo confidential assessments by an independent expert and attend mandatory counselling sessions conducted by a gender-based violence expert. Both the counselling sessions and assessments had to be satisfactorily completed before the CFL would consider Kelly's reinstatement and the league did reserve the right to modify his discipline.
