'Just throw it up': Roughriders' Dohnte Meyers already enjoying career year
Article content
Whether it's Meyers or one of his teammates, what you see on game day is a product of what happens during the week of practice.

'It starts with the game plan that (offensive coordinator Marc) Mueller sets for the top of the week,' said Meyers. 'And on the execution on details from Trevor Harris that he preaches.

'Him being a veteran quarterback and me still learning the ropes in the league, you just try to soak up all the game and listen to them when it's game time, because they're proven to have success.'

Case in point on Saturday where Meyers caught a 50-yard touchdown pass from Harris on Saskatchewan's first offensive series of the game before the second-year receiver caught a 30-yard bomb from Harris to open the second half.

'The double move they hit, it was a thing of beauty,' said Roughriders head coach Corey Mace. 'You see it in real time, and you've seen it in practice, it was just incredible.

'We're happy as ever that Trevor Harris is our quarterback and Dohnte and the rest of receiving corps are with us.'

And the depth of that receiving corps has been on display this season with Harris having a different 100-yard receiver in his first four starts this season.

In Week 1, Samuel Emilus went for 133 yards and a touchdown before KeeSean Johnson put up 124 yards and a score in Week 2. In Week 3, Meyers had his 124-yard, two touchdown performance against the Argonauts before Joe Robustelli led the way with 191 yards and a touchdown in Week 6.

Last week, it was Meyers' turn once again with 132 yards and two touchdowns.

'What you love about Trevor Harris is he's not going to get too locked in onto one receiver,' said Mace. 'He's going to find who's open and we feel so confident in the entire group.'

Hockey Canada, NHL could clear or sanction players after sexual-assault verdict
On Thursday, the five former Canadian world junior hockey players charged with sexual assault after a 2018 celebratory gala in London, Ont., will learn their fates at the hands of the criminal justice system. But that won't be the final word: Both the National Hockey League and Hockey Canada still have matters to resolve with the men. Each organization conducted its own parallel investigation into the allegations, but when police laid charges in February, 2024, the league and national sport organization held off making any final determination until the end of the trial. Now that those processes may finally continue – barring any appeal in the case – some or all of the players could be excluded from the highest levels of professional hockey, or barred from ever playing for Canada again. If the probes don't find the players breached the league's or Hockey Canada's rules, though, the men may not face any serious professional consequences at all. The case has brought scrutiny to how sports organizations in Canada should proceed when athletes allegedly engage in behaviour that is not only inappropriate, but potentially criminal. It has also offered the public a rare glimpse into how the country's safe sport regime makes decisions, the mechanics of which are normally shrouded in secrecy. What to know about the Hockey Canada trial ahead of the verdict The Hockey Canada sexual-assault trial is nearly over. We're answering your questions after the verdict Shortly after the alleged incident in June, 2018, Hockey Canada hired lawyer Danielle Robitaille for an independent investigation into whether the players had contravened its code of conduct. She conducted a raft of interviews, including with four of the five players who were ultimately charged, and filed a report with the organization in the fall of 2022. In November, 2023, Hockey Canada announced that an independent adjudicative panel held a hearing on the matter and rendered a decision, but an appeal had been filed. No other information was released, including what the panel had decided. Hockey Canada commissioned a new arm's-length panel to hear the appeal. Ten months later, in September, 2024, the organization announced that panel had granted a motion to adjourn the proceedings until the criminal trial was over. The five accused are not the only ones directly affected by the pause. Hockey Canada suspended the entire 2018 world junior team when the incident came to light in June, 2022 – preventing them from playing, coaching, officiating, or volunteering with any programs overseen by the organization. The players remain in limbo until the conclusion of the independent appeal process. Experts say when a matter could be subject to a criminal investigation, sports organizations should hold off on their own inquiry until after the police probe. 'You don't want to taint the criminal matter,' said Hilary Findlay, a retired associate professor of sports management at Brock University, and a founding partner of the consulting firm Sport Law. Independent investigators 'could inappropriately question people. Somebody could make a false accusation that could have repercussions,' she said, adding that any number of things could happen that might bleed into the criminal investigation. In a ruling last fall on a pretrial motion, Justice Bruce Thomas noted that Ms. Robitaille had, in fact, suspended her investigation in late July, 2018, and then resumed it after police determined that there weren't sufficient grounds to continue their probe, in February, 2019. She then shut down her inquiry again in September, 2020, after failing to secure an interview with the complainant. But in July, 2022, both the London Police Service and Ms. Robitaille reopened their investigations after a public outcry. Hockey Canada threatened a lifetime ban on any player who didn't speak to Ms. Robitaille. Justice Thomas noted she was aware that the information she gathered could be shared with police. Ms. Robitaille's findings did end up spilling into public view during the trial. However, much of the evidence and material she uncovered in her 2022 interviews with three of the players – including an admission by Dillon Dubé that he had slapped the complainant on her naked buttock – was ultimately ruled inadmissible because they were obtained under threat of the lifetime ban by Hockey Canada. While that threat was unusual, Canada's safe sport regime has other sanctions at its disposal to compel participation. Signy Arnason, the executive director of safe sport for the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, or CCES, noted that those accused of breaching a code of conduct 'can choose to not participate' in a probe. 'But that doesn't stop anything.' If those individuals are found guilty, they do not have the right to an appeal. The NHL also launched its own investigation that concluded in 2023, but the results were not made public. Though the league's commissioner, Gary Bettman, denounced the alleged behaviour – calling the claims 'disgusting, horrific, and unacceptable' in an interview with The Globe and Mail in April – the league said it won't discuss its investigation or potential consequences while the matter is before the courts. In April, the CCES took over responsibility for administering the safe sport file, outlined in the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport, or UCCMS, for federally funded national sport organizations such as Hockey Canada. The accused players may face sanctions under the UCCMS, regardless of the outcome of the criminal trial. 'The standard of proof, and what you need to show culpability, differs between the two processes,' said Ms. Findlay. A criminal conviction requires evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. The threshold for proof in the Canadian safe sport regime, on the other hand, is lower. The regime abides by what is known as a 'balance of probabilities,' meaning an investigator only has to be at least 51 per cent certain that the alleged behaviour occurred. Hockey Canada verdict could break new ground on sexual consent Gary Bettman won't say if Hockey Canada players on trial for sexual assault could return to NHL if acquitted Both the probes commissioned by NHL and Hockey Canada have unfolded behind a heavy curtain of secrecy. Investigations into behaviour that occurs under the auspices of national sport organizations are not released to the public. Only serious sanctions, such as a temporary or permanent suspension, are announced. Ms. Arnason stressed it is imperative for investigations like these to remain secret. National sport organizations, and the people who work for them, can make or break athletes' careers, which creates a disincentive to report maltreatment if people fear being identified as a complainant or whistleblower. 'People want to remain, in many instances, confidential,' she said. Taylor McKee, the director of the Centre for Sport Capacity at Brock University, broadly agrees, though he argued that the public deserves more transparency than the system currently offers. He outlined a potential scenario in which a coach is alleged to have violated what is known in sports as the one-on-one protocol, which ensures adults aren't left alone with minors. The coach may admit to breaking the rule, but that would not normally be disclosed outside the independent probe, since it is not subject to serious sanction. However, it would be in the public interest to disclose the coach's admission, regardless of its implications as per the code. 'If they can find statements of fact that are agreed upon, even by the accused,' it's in the interest of the Canadian hockey establishment to make those public, Mr. McKee said.

A historic win by 45-year-old Venus Williams resonates and shows there are no limits for excellence
Venus Williams waves to the crowd as she celebrates her win over Peyton Stearns during a match at the Citi Open tennis tournament Tuesday, July 22, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Nick Wass) WASHINGTON — There are plenty of reasons why this particular victory by Venus Williams in this particular tennis match -- just one of hundreds -- resonated with so many folks. That she's 45, for one thing. Only one woman, Martina Navratilova, ever has won a tour-level singles match while older; her last victory came at 47 in 2004. That Williams hadn't entered a tournament anywhere in 16 months. That she needed surgery for uterine fibroids. And when asked Tuesday night after beating her 23-year-old opponent, Peyton Stearns, 6-3, 6-4 at the D.C. Open what message others might take away from that performance and that result, Williams was quick to provide an answer. 'There are no limits for excellence. It's all about what's in your head and how much you're able to put into it. If you put in the work mentally, physically, and emotionally, then you can have the result,' said Williams, who will face 27-year-old Magdalena Frech on Thursday. 'It doesn't matter how many times you fall down. Doesn't matter how many times you get sick or get hurt or whatever it is. If you continue to believe and put in the work, there is an opportunity, there is space, for you.' Williams -- who received a wild-card invitation on Wednesday for next month's Cincinnati Open -- has been winning at tennis for decades. Her pro debut came when she was 14. Her first Grand Slam title came at Wimbledon in 2000, less than a month after her 20th birthday. She accumulated four major singles trophies before Stearns was born and eventually wound up with seven, five at Wimbledon and two at the U.S. Open, plus another 14 in women's doubles -- all with her sister Serena -- and two in mixed doubles. 'I have so much respect for her to come back here and play, win or lose. That takes a lot of guts to step back onto court, especially with what she's done for the sport,' said Stearns, who is ranked 35th and won NCAA singles and team titles at the University of Texas. 'You have a lot behind you. You have accomplished a lot. And there is a lot of pressure on her and to kind of upkeep that at this age. So massive credit to her for that.' There were challenges along the way for Williams, none more public than the diagnosis in 2011 of Sjögren's syndrome, an energy-sapping auto-immune disease that can cause joint pain. More recent was the pain from fibroids -- noncancerous growths -- and shortly before the DC Open, Williams said: 'Where I am at this year is so much different (from) where I was at last year. It's night and day, being able to be here and prepare for the tournament as opposed to preparing for surgery.' The event in the nation's capital is her first competition in more than a year. Williams also entered in doubles with Hailey Baptiste, and they won their first-round match Monday before losing on Wednesday. As thrilled as the spectators -- 'Who I love, and they love me,' Williams said -- were to be able to watch, and pull, for her, other players were rather excited about it, too. 'I commend her so much for being out here,' said Taylor Townsend. Naomi Osaka's take: 'She's, like, the queen. There's a royal air around her.' 'She's one of the best athletes of all time,' Frances Tiafoe said. 'Her and her sister, they're not only great for the women's game, not only great for women's sports, but they are so iconic.' Yet, there were some on social media who wondered whether it made sense for the tournament to award a wild-card entry to Williams instead of an up-and-coming player. DC Open chairman Mark Ein said it took him about two seconds to respond 'Of course' when Williams' representative reached out in April to ask whether a spot in the field might be a possibility. A reporter wanted to know Tuesday whether Williams took any satisfaction from proving doubters wrong. 'No, because I'm not here for anyone else except for me. And I also have nothing to prove. Zip. Zero. I'm here for me, because I want to be here,' she said. 'And proving anyone wrong or thinking about anyone has never gotten me a win and has never gotten me a loss.'
