Blue Bombers' Johnson suspended 2 games

Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive back Bruce Johnson has been suspended two games for testing positive for a banned substance, the league announced Friday.

Johnson tested positive for methylenedioxyamphetamine, which is a party drug, according to Gary Lawless of TSN.

"We are disappointed with Bruce and his decision, but I trust no one is more upset in his actions than Bruce himself," Blue Bombers general manager Kyle Walters said. "The Winnipeg Blue Bombers fully support the policy on performance enhancing drugs, and we trust Bruce will learn from his mistake moving forward."

Johnson will miss Winnipeg's next two games, both against the BC Lions.

"I take full responsibility for my decisions and accept the disciplinary action," Johnson said. "I apologize to my coaches, teammates, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers organization and Bomber fans, and will use this as a learning opportunity for myself. I hope to return following my suspension and help our team continue the push toward the playoffs."
