Canadian receiver Ajou Ajou has been suspended for a minimum of six games by the CFL for violating the league’s gender-based violence and harassment policy. He has since been released by the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The CFL initiated a third-party investigation in late January after it was made aware of multiple allegations that Ajou engaged in aggressive and unwelcome physical contact with multiple women at a restaurant in Regina. The investigation corroborated these reports through interviews with Ajou, multiple witnesses and complainants.
Ajou’s reinstatement process will include a minimum of 15 mandatory counselling sessions conducted by a gender-based violence expert, a psychological assessment by another independent expert and a meeting with commissioner Stewart Johnston. If he is unable to satisfactorily complete any step in the process, the CFL reserves the right to modify his discipline.
