Tyrone Jones to be inducted into the Blue Bombers Ring of Honour
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers all-time leading sack getter will be added to the Ring of Honour later this year. The team announced Wednesday that Tyrone Jones will become the 17th member of the Ring during the Banjo Bowl on Sept. 6. Jones suited up for the Blue and Gold on two different occasions—from 1983 to 1987 and from 1989 to 1991. He helped the Bombers secure two Grey Cups in 1984 and 1990 and led the team in sacks for six seasons. He has 98 career sacks with the Bombers, which is the most in franchise history. He was also a four-time all-star, named the Most Outstanding Defensive Player in the 1984 Grey Cup and the CFL's Most Outstanding Defensive Player in 1985. 'He was an integral part of the Blue Bombers success in the 1980s/early 1990s as an exceptional defender and vocal leader,' said Wade Miller, the president and CEO of the Bombers. 'The Winnipeg Football Club is thrilled to add his name to its Ring of Honour.' Jones last played in the CFL in 1993. He was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer in 2005 and passed away in 2008. He was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2012. 'The Blue Bombers, that's all I used to hear from my dad. I still tell people to this day that my father is in the hall of fame in Canada for football, so to be added to the Blue Bombers Ring of Honour makes me even more proud of him,' said Tyler Livingston, one of Jones' sons.

CFL suspends Bombers QB Collaros for failing to respond to off-season drug testing
The CFL has suspended Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros one game for failing to respond to an off-season drug-testing request. The league announced Wednesday officials with the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) twice tried to reach Collaros by phone and another time via email over a two-hour period. It added Collaros, 36, failed to respond within 24 hours, which usually would result in a two-game suspension. The league said after a review it shortened the suspension to one game, citing "extenuating circumstances." The CFL also stated Collaros has never tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug under the joint CFL/CFL Players' Association drug policy. The CFL and CFLPA have also agreed to enhance contact protocols for off-season testing of players. "Zach Collaros is one of the most respected leaders in our locker room and across the CFL," Bombers president Wade Miller said in a statement. "He's a professional in every sense — committed, accountable, and a true example of what it means to be a Blue Bomber. "There was no intent for wrongdoing by Zach — just a missed step in the process. Both the CFL and CFLPA have since clarified and improved their communication protocols to help ensure this doesn't happen to other players in the CFL." Under terms of the drug policy, suspended players can't play in regular-season or playoff games. It is up to their club whether they participate in team activities, such as training camp, exhibition games, practices or meetings. "Zach will miss our first regular-season game but will continue to fully participate in training camp and pre-season games," Miller said. "As an organization, we're also reviewing and strengthening how we support players in navigating off-season requirements. "Zach remains an incredibly valued leader on and off the field, and we look forward to having him back under centre June 21 (Week 2)." Winnipeg kicks off its 2025 season hosting B.C. on June 12 and then visits the Lions the following week.
