CFL suspends Shawn Lemon immediately for betting on games

An independent arbitrator has ruled that Montreal Alouettes defensive lineman Shawn Lemon be suspended immediately for wagering on CFL games.

Lemon was originally suspended for the incident in late April, but was allowed to return to play in games while he appealed the ruling.

Lemon was caught betting on multiple CFL games while he was a member of the Calgary Stampeders back in 2021, including one in which he played in. The league made sure to mention that there was no evidence that any matches were impacted by his betting, nor did they find any evidence that any of Lemon’s coaches or teammates were aware of what he was doing.
