Statement from Calgary Stampeders president and general manager John Hufnagel on the three-game suspension to defensive lineman Quinn Smith announced earlier today:

The Calgary Stampeders fully support the joint policy on performance-enhancing drugs and we were very disappointed when informed of Quinn’s violation. Quinn recognizes the gravity of his error and the harm he has done to himself and his reputation. We trust he will learn from his mistake and avoid another occurrence. This incident proves that players need to be aware and wise about the supplements they are taking. Following our game against Edmonton, we will make a determination on Quinn’s level of participation for practice and meetings during the suspension.
