CFL suspends Newell for a second doping violation

Darien Newell tested positive in May for cardarine and drostanolone, an anabolic-androgenic steroid. Both substances are banned under the CFL's drug policy. His appeal was denied by an independent arbitrator, resulting in a nine-game ban.

The CFL has suspended defensive lineman Darien Newell of the Edmonton Elks for nine games following a second positive doping result.
