This incident once again proves players need to be fully cognizant about the supplements they are taking.”Article content In the 2022 CFL campaign, Sindani hauled in 13 balls in the first three games for Calgary but was hampered by a hamstring injury and missed the next five weeks of action. He finished with 26 receptions, 255 yards and one TD in 13 games during what was considered an inconsistent season. He also fielded one kickoff. Players who test positive or fail to provide a sample face a two-game suspension for a first violation, a nine-game suspension for a second violation, a one-year suspension for a third violation, and a lifetime ban for a fourth violation.Under the policy, suspended players cannot participate in regular season or post-season games. It is at the club’s discretion whether to allow players to participate in other team activities, such as training camp, pre-season games, practices and meetings. All players are subject to mandatory drug testing following a positive result and are required to participate in an assessment and clinical evaluation to determine if additional counselling is needed. The policy mandates a total number of tests equal to the number of players in the CFL. Testing is ongoing and is conducted year-round.
