Riders lineman Bruce Campbell suspended for drug violation
The CFL has suspended Roughriders offensive lineman Bruce Campbell after a positive drug test.
Campbell, who played 12 regular season games and two playoff games for the club, was found to have the banned substance Ibutamoren in his system.
Ibutamoren is considered a growth hormone and not permitted in the CFL.
“First, I would like to apologize to the Saskatchewan Roughriders organization and my teammates for putting them in this position,” Campbell said in a statement released by the Riders. “I’d also like to apologize to Rider fans and fans across the league. I take full responsibility for my actions and ensure you it will not happen again. I accept the Canadian Football League decision and will not be appealing the two-game suspension.”
