So the Elks were aware that a player they selected in the draft yesterday had tested positive for PEDs and still chose him - That player is ineligible to sign a contract for onc calendar year, by the way.
“The Edmonton Elks organization was aware of Darien Newell’s impending suspension before selecting him on Tuesday night. Throughout the draft process, we completed our due diligence on Darien and came away satisfied with both the person and the player. The organization is committed to supporting Darien throughout this process, and we look forward to when he can join the Green and Gold,” general manager Ed Hervey said in a statement.
