CFL Suspends Current BC Lion, Former Okanagan Sun Football Player 2 Games
Jacob Bond tested positive for D-amfetamine, and the league said a first violation brings a two-game ban.
The Canadian Football League suspended B.C. Lions fullback Jacob Bond for two games on Wednesday after he violated the league's drug policy.
Bond tested positive for D-amfetamine, a stimulant used to treat ADHD, which is classified on the league's Prohibited List.
The CFL policy mandates a two-game suspension for a first violation; penalties escalate to a nine-game ban for a second offense, a one-year suspension for a third, and a lifetime ban.
Suspended players cannot participate in regular-season or post-season games, though the Club retains discretion over attendance at practices and meetings.
Bond, who played for the Okanagan Sun from 2021-2024, retains the right to appeal the league's ruling if he chooses.
