Stampeders' Finch suspended 2 games for violating drug policy
Calgary Stampeders running back Roy Finch has been handed a two-game suspension for violating the CFL's drug policy, the league announced Monday.
Finch tested positive for the banned substance D-amphetamine, which he claimed was a result of taking medication for attention-deficit disorder.
"I made a mistake and I accept full responsibility," Finch said in a statement. "I want to make it clear that there was absolutely no intent on my part to cheat as I was taking the medication to treat attention-deficit disorder. At the same time, I know that I’m responsible for what goes into my body and I should have asked more questions. I apologize to the fans, the coaches, and my teammates for the embarrassment I have caused."
The 25-year-old is the team's primary return man and backs up Jerome Messam as a running back.
