Canadian Football League issues statement

Following today's announcement of a trade between the Edmonton Eskimos and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the Canadian Football League issued the following statement:
"On the basis of public and media speculation surrounding the rumoured player trade, the Commissioner's office intervened to ensure that an announcement was not made prior to the League receiving and fully examining the details of the transaction.
That review is now complete and it has been determined that the trade announced today was not part of any future considerations arrangement from the October 5th transaction between the two clubs, and that both Edmonton and Hamilton have complied with League policies pertaining to player transfers."
