Saskatchewan Roughriders Release Ajou Ajou After Suspension
The league said Ajou Ajou must complete 15 counselling sessions and a psychological assessment before he can return.
- On Thursday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders released receiver Ajou Ajou after the CFL suspended him for the 2026 preseason and at least six regular-season games for violating the league's gender-based violence and harassment policy.
- An investigation revealed that on Nov. 18, 2025, the day of the Grey Cup parade, Ajou engaged in aggressive and unwelcome physical contact with multiple women at a Regina restaurant, breaching league policy.
- "The Saskatchewan Roughriders do not tolerate gender-based violence or harassment and Ajou Ajou's actions go directly against the values we hold as an organization," Roughriders Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager Jeremy O'Day said.
- CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston stated, "When improper conduct occurs, our policy is clear, and we will enforce it without exception," emphasizing reinstatement requires 15 mandatory counselling sessions and a psychological assessment.
- Ajou becomes the second player suspended by the league for violating this policy; in 2024, Toronto Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly faced similar discipline, receiving a suspension covering the preseason and half of the regular season.
