Decision on fate of Stamps players allegedly involved now expected on Tuesday
REGINA -- A decision on potential punishments for Calgary Stampeders players allegedly involved in an altercation with CFL officials after Friday's contest at Mosaic Stadium has been pushed back until Tuesday morning.
The CFL's director of officiating Tom Higgins hoped to have an announcement this afternoon, but told John Down of the Calgary Herald that nothing will be made public until Tuesday morning.
Asked is there was any fear of Stampeders players being suspended, Calgary head coach John Hufnagel told Down: "I don't think there's any fear there. There was some heated comments made and when I entered the tunnel, I heard some shouting, went up, diffused it, got our players into the locker-room and made the point it wasn't acceptable."
Hufnagel also pointed out the altercation was only verbal.

Although there is no place for this anywhere in sport, amateur or professional, with the CFL officiating I can sure understand how frustration builds up.
