Ticats star Brandon Banks suspended for two games following positive test
TORONTO — The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will be without star receiver/kick-returner Brandon Banks for their crucial rematch Friday night with the Ottawa Redblacks.
Banks was suspended for two games Wednesday for violating the CFL’s drug policy. According to the league, Banks tested positive for methylenedioxyamphetamine, a psychedelic hallucinogenic drug also known as MDA that’s closely related to ecstasy.
“I’m disappointed but at the end of the day it is what it is,” Banks told reporters in Hamilton. “It’s my mistake.
“I just have to think positive and move on forward.”
