REGINA \u2014 The Saskatchewan Roughriders have released receiver Ajou Ajou in response to what the team said in a Thursday news release was a CFL investigation that found he\u2019d violated the league\u2019s gender-based violence and harassment policy.<\/p>\n
Ajou played college football in the United States for Clemson, South Florida and Garden City, before being drafted by the Riders in 2024.<\/p>\n
He dressed for 12 games with the Riders in 2024 and eight more in 2025, hauling in 42 receptions for a combined 519 yards and two touchdowns over two seasons.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Saskatchewan Roughriders do not tolerate gender-based violence or harassment and Ajou Ajou\u2019s actions go directly against the values we hold as an organization,\u201d Riders general manager Jeremy O\u2019Day said in a team-issued news release. \u201cWe hold our players to a high standard, one that focuses on integrity and treating people with respect. He failed to meet that standard and is no longer a Roughrider.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saskatchewan Provincial Court confirmed Ajou was not facing criminal charges in this province.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Day is meeting with media at 11:15 a.m. to discuss the situation further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"REGINA \u2014 The Saskatchewan Roughriders have released receiver Ajou Ajou in response to what the team said in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109104,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[224145,224143,49,48,521,522,520,224144,4398,224142,1893,4397,4402,4401,4400,4399,82,4403],"class_list":{"0":"post-615162","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cfl","8":"tag-100-year-celebration","9":"tag-620-ckrm","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-canadian-football-league","13":"tag-canadianfootballleague","14":"tag-cfl","15":"tag-ckrm","16":"tag-country-music","17":"tag-countrys-greatest-hits","18":"tag-radio","19":"tag-regina-news","20":"tag-reigna-pats","21":"tag-rider-radio","22":"tag-saskatchewan-roughriders","23":"tag-saskatchewan-sports","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-sportscage"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=615162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=615162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=615162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=615162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
