The Saskatchewan Roughriders have released receiver Ajou Ajou in response to what a Green and White news release Thursday said was a C-F-L investigation that found he’d violated the league’s gender-based violence and harassment policy.

The C-F-L initiated a third-party investigation in late January after it was made aware of multiple allegations that Ajou engaged in aggressive and unwelcome physical contact with multiple women at a restaurant in Regina. The investigation corroborated these reports through interviews with Ajou, multiple witnesses and complainants, which constituted breaches of the league’s gender-based violence and harassment policy. Saskatchewan Provincial Court confirmed Ajou was not facing criminal charges in this province. Ajou played college football in the U-S for Clemson, South Florida and Garden City, before being drafted by the Riders in 2024. He dressed for 12 games with Saskatchewan in 2024 and eight more in 2025, hauling in 42 receptions for a combined 519 yards and two touchdowns over two seasons. Following is the news release from the Roughriders…..

Saskatchewan Roughriders release receiver Ajou Ajou

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have released receiver Ajou Ajou following a CFL investigation which concluded Ajou violated the Gender-Based Violence and Harassment Policy.

“The Saskatchewan Roughriders do not tolerate gender-based violence or harassment and Ajou Ajou’s actions go directly against the values we hold as an organization,” said Roughriders Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager Jeremy O’Day. “We hold our players to a high standard, one that focuses on integrity and treating people with respect. He failed to meet that standard and is no longer a Roughrider.”
