Yep, the poor Riders had to pay for all of those injuries... I mean no other team dealt with injuries this year, just the Riders. I'm sure if for instance, the Stamps had to deal with losing almost their entire front 7 on the D, they would have been over the cap too... oh wait they did lose them, and they didn't violate the cap... imagine that - MANAGEMENT. Also, a lot of those broken legs for instance landed the Riders' higher priced players on the 9 game list, which makes those salaries EXEMPT from the cap, which also usually means a cheaper replacement is found... just imagine how much over the cap they would have been if they didn't suffer 20 broken legs, and Dominguez' annual bruised knee.
look at this quote from one of those plethora of "injuries" in Riderville:

In particular, Justin was stashed on the injured reserve list to start this year in Regina, even though he wasn't hurt. "I had problems with that whole thing (in Regina) just because they were trying to tell people I was injured," he said.

The Riders were the ONLY TEAM to carry over 70 people on their roster this past year.
Maybe if their GM stopped allegedly oogling babysitters and instead look at the accounting the Riders would stop violating the cap EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
Trash organization from top to bottom.
