Suspended Chad Kelly Present At Argos Training Camp

Kelly’s appearance at the University of Guelph comes just two days after the CFL suspended its 2023 outstanding player for at least nine regular-season games following its investigation into a lawsuit filed by a former strength-and-conditioning coach against Kelly for sexual harassment and the club for wrongful dismissal.

Kelly is also suspended for Toronto’s two pre-season games.

Argos general manager Mike (Pinball) Clemons told reporters Kelly’s presence was within the conditions of the league’s discipline.

Clemons said should Kelly appeal the suspension — and theoretically be allowed to play until an arbitration hearing — the Argos would make a decision at that time regarding any team-issued discipline.

Kelly, 30, was on the field but not in equipment and appeared to be working with the Argos rookie quarterbacks.

Kelly was the CFL’s outstanding player last season after leading Toronto to a league-best and franchise-record 16-2 mark.

But the Argos’ campaign ended with a 38-17 loss to the Montreal Alouettes in the East Division final.

He’s in Toronto – this won’t be enough. Breakfast TV will insist at 30 years of age his life be over. Not only should he appeal – he in turn should be retaing counsel and bringing a separate lawsuits vs the Commissioner, that woman, CFLPA, and if it all goes down the Argos. Bury them all. This immature man will wake up and my guess is realize the Carling O’Keefe wobbly pops effect his day to day decision making and simply, “….life has become unmanageable.” That’s the issue. We’re never allowed to ask why the seasonal $23K employee ONLY complained… Read more »

You spout the same sick misogynistic views using various name disguises but you always sound the same. You invariably include a shot or two against women. Such a bitter man. Most fans of the cfl are proud of how the league has responded. But that would not fit your agenda.

…..and you would be the guy coming out of a coma. Your missus proceeds to explain because you signed over power of attorney. She sold your car. His XR7….even though he says “but that was my car…” then tell her how good she is to you ….

The truth does not answer questions.

I’m betting an individual in Argo management walks the plank over this too. I’d name him but I don’t want to end up in court.

I’m guessing league must have found out something that’s not “alleged”. 9 games makes me think so. Different world now. Right or wrong, this would not have happened in the 80’s or 90’s. Kelly should realize that.
