CFL SUSPENDS MARINO 4 GAMES

The CFL has slapped Saskatchewan Roughriders defensive tackle Garrett Marino with three separate suspensions for a total of four games for his actions in Friday's game against the Ottawa Redblacks. It's the most severe total discipline ever imposed by the CFL for in-game behaviour during one game. The suspensions, which are to run consecutively, are: A two-game suspension for Marino's dangerous and reckless low hit on Ottawa QB Jeremiah Masoli, which resulted in serious injury and Marino's ejection, and for Marino's subsequent celebration; a onegame suspension for verbal comments Marino made about Masoli's heritage; and a one-game suspension for Marino's illegal and reckless tackle of an Ottawa offensive lineman on a previous play. The league also cited Marino's discipline record after 12 CFL career games.
