CFL suspends Bombers QB Collaros for failing to respond to off-season drug testing
The CFL has suspended Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros one game for failing to respond to an off-season drug-testing request. The league announced Wednesday officials with the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) twice tried to reach Collaros by phone and another time via email over a two-hour period. It added Collaros, 36, failed to respond within 24 hours, which usually would result in a two-game suspension. The league said after a review it shortened the suspension to one game, citing "extenuating circumstances." The CFL also stated Collaros has never tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug under the joint CFL/CFL Players' Association drug policy. The CFL and CFLPA have also agreed to enhance contact protocols for off-season testing of players. "Zach Collaros is one of the most respected leaders in our locker room and across the CFL," Bombers president Wade Miller said in a statement. "He's a professional in every sense — committed, accountable, and a true example of what it means to be a Blue Bomber. "There was no intent for wrongdoing by Zach — just a missed step in the process. Both the CFL and CFLPA have since clarified and improved their communication protocols to help ensure this doesn't happen to other players in the CFL." Under terms of the drug policy, suspended players can't play in regular-season or playoff games. It is up to their club whether they participate in team activities, such as training camp, exhibition games, practices or meetings. "Zach will miss our first regular-season game but will continue to fully participate in training camp and pre-season games," Miller said. "As an organization, we're also reviewing and strengthening how we support players in navigating off-season requirements. "Zach remains an incredibly valued leader on and off the field, and we look forward to having him back under centre June 21 (Week 2)." Winnipeg kicks off its 2025 season hosting B.C. on June 12 and then visits the Lions the following week.

Unprecedented demand for Bombers tickets, club says ahead of new season
Excitement is building for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' season with fans counting down the days to the June 12 home opener. Individual game tickets are on sale Friday, and club president Wade Miller says there's already been an unprecedented demand for season tickets and flex packs, meaning high-profile games like the Banjo Bowl are essentially already sold out. 'We're holding back a few for season ticket members and flex packs … so you can still buy season tickets and flex packs to get your Banjo Bowl tickets,' Miller told 680 CJOB's The Start. 'Any tickets we haven't sold by early July, we'll release those tickets like we did last year. But in the last week of the presales that season ticket members and flex pack holders get before single game tickets go on sale … we've sold out of that inventory already.' Story continues below advertisement Adding to the excitement around the Bombers this year is the fact that the Grey Cup returns to Winnipeg in November for the first time in a decade.

'When you talk to our ticketing team, half of the people are buying season tickets because they want to be here for every game and get their spot on the roster, and it's just tremendous to see that. With five sellouts last year, people are saying, 'I'd better get my ticket for the whole year.'' Ticket packages are sold on the club's website, while individual game tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster.
