CFL reinstates Shawn Lemon with conditions after gambling suspension, but he still faces drug ban.

The Canadian Football League (CFL) has reinstated defensive lineman Shawn Lemon after a gambling suspension, with conditions. Lemon, 36, was suspended indefinitely in 2024 for betting on league games in 2021. An independent arbitrator upheld the suspension, but Lemon was reinstated with a lifetime ban for any future violations. He must also complete league education and counseling. Lemon, a free agent, still faces a two-game drug suspension.
