ROUGHRIDERS STATEMENT ON JUSTIN COX

The Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club has released Justin Cox after being informed of an incident involving domestic violence.

In keeping with the provisions of the Canadian Football League’s Policy on Violence Against Women, appropriate outreaches are being made to local police, support and counselling organizations.

The league policy expressly states that “the CFL condemns violence against women in all its forms.”

Due to the nature of the legal process the Saskatchewan Roughriders will not comment further.
