Ajou Ajou is returning to the Canadian Football League with the Calgary Stampeders.<\/p>\n
After the league announced on Tuesday that the wide receiver had been reinstated with ongoing conditions, TSN Football Insider Dave Naylor reports he has agreed to terms on a deal with the Calgary Stampeders.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Brooks, Alta. native was suspended in April for no fewer than six games for a violation of the league\u2019s Gender-Based Violence and Harassment Policy. The ban came following a third-party investigation into allegations of \u201caggressive and unwelcome physical contact\u201d with multiple women at a Regina-area restaurant on the evening of Nov. 18, 2025.<\/p>\n
He was released by the Saskatchewan Roughriders shortly after the suspension was announced.<\/p>\n
Contingent on Ajou\u2019s reinstatement was the \u201csuccessful completion of a three-part process: 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The league notes that any future violations of the policy will be met with stricter penalties up to and including a lifetime ban.<\/p>\n
Ajou will now serve his six-game suspension before he can play for the Stamps.<\/p>\n
Ajou had appeared in 20 games for the Riders across two seasons. He had two receptions in the Riders\u2019 25-17 victory over the Montreal Alouettes at this past November\u2019s 112th Grey Cup in Winnipeg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ajou Ajou is returning to the Canadian Football League with the Calgary Stampeders.
