It remains the least favourite part of Jim Barkers job: Telling a player he doesnt fit into the teams plans. But it got even more difficult Saturday when the Toronto Argonauts general manager had to deliver the bad news to defensive tackle Kevin Huntley, a four-year CFL veteran who helped the squad capture the historic 100th Grey Cup title last season. Stay with TSN.ca for all the latest cuts as teams trim their rosters down to the 46-player limit ahead of the regular season. "It was probably the hardest cut Ive had in three years here because I love Kevin," Barker said. "Its the worst part of the job and this is the most difficult day of the year because its always difficult to tell a guy this isnt going to be the place for him. "But there comes a point where you have to make difficult decisions and then you move forward and thats what weve done." Former Argos defensive lineman Ricky Foley, who signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the off-season as a free agent, echoed Barkers sentiment. "I had cutdown day," Foley tweeted. "So many good relationships formed over the yrs and T.C...Blessings & Good Luck 2all the players looking 4new teams." Toronto also released linebacker Bryan Payton, running back Gerald Riggs Jr. and receiver Reggie Williams as teams had until 10 p.m. ET on Saturday to reduce their active rosters to 46 players. Clubs could carry up to nine players on the practice roster. Two notable veterans were among the Calgary Stampeders final 10 cuts: defensive end Stevie Baggs and running back LaMarcus Coker. The 31-year-old Baggs was entering his 12th CFL season with his fifth team and joined the Stampeders last season after being released by the eventual Super Bowl-champion Baltimore Ravens. The six-foot, 190-pound Coker rushed for 380 yards over two seasons with Calgary but averaged an outstanding 8.4 yards per carry. Another notable release was linebacker Clint Kent in Edmonton. The regular season kicks off Thursday night with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers hosting the Montreal Alouettes at new Investors Group Field. The Argos begin their title defence Friday night at Rogers Centre against their arch rivals, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The six-foot-eight, 305-pound Huntley has 26 career sacks, but only had two last year. Still, the 31-year-olds departure was surprising given the Argos opened training camp minus defensive line regulars Ron Flemons (released), Armondo Armstead (New England Patriots, NFL), Foley and Adriano Belli (retired). However, Barker said veteran tackle Khalif Mitchell -- obtained this off-season from B.C. -- rookies Jonathan Williams and Cleyon Laing and newcomer Jermaine Reid (trade with Edmonton) all were impressive. "For two spots we had a lot of players that we liked so thats what it came down to," Barker said. "I still think he (Huntley) can play in this league. "We felt like we had a couple of other guys that augmented what were trying to do better." Riggs, the son of former NFL star running back Gerald Riggs, was entering his second season with Toronto. But the Argos opted to go with Curtis Steele, a five-foot-11, 206-pound rookie from Memphis as the backup to incumbent Chad Kackert, last years Grey Cup MVP. "Curtis is a good, young player that well groom behind Chad," Barker said. "Gerald Riggs had a good pre-season as well, he did everything that was asked of him and was very good. "We just felt to go younger with Curtis. Hes a different kind of back than Gerald and felt that was a better fit for us and we dont have the luxury of keeping three." Barker also said Toronto will start the season with defensive back Brent Vinson and receiver Romby Bryant on the injured list after both were hurt in Thursday nights 24-20 exhibition win over Montreal. Vinson will require surgery for a broken ankle and is expected to miss four months, while Bryant is out indefinitely with six broken ribs. Bryant signed with Toronto this off-season shortly after being granted his release by Calgary. The 33-year-old spent three-plus seasons with the Stampeders, registering 211 catches for 3,028 yards and 22 touchdowns before adding two receptions for 31 yards in the clubs 35-22 Grey Cup loss to the Argos. Over five CFL seasons, the six-foot-one, 191-pound Bryant has 295 career receptions for 4,428 yards and 31 TDs. On a more pleasant note, Barker said all-star cornerback Pat Watkins passed his physical and should begin practising this week. Watkins missed all of training camp dealing with personal matters in Florida. Elsewhere, Winnipeg let 21 players go Saturday just two days after dropping a lopsided 52-0 exhibition decision to Hamilton. Included in the cuts was quarterback Chase Clement, meaning Justin Goltz and newcomer Max Hall will back up veteran starter Buck Pierce. Saskatchewan also released 21 players, including defensive back Eddie Russ, who re-signed with the Riders rather than become a free agent after registering 33 tackles and two interceptions in 2012. Also let go were long-snapper Jordan Matechuk and kicker Brody McKnight, both CFL veterans. Hamilton made a series of moves. Defensive tackle Torrey Davis, offensive lineman Marc Dile and defensive back Terrence Parks were added to the roster while quarterback Chris Amrhein, defensive back Emanuel Davis, receivers Justin Hilton, Simon Le Marquand and Eric McCree, linebacker Nick Rosamonda and defensive linemen Eze Obiora, Donovan Robinson and Matt Singletary -- the son of former NFL star linebacker Mike Singletary -- were all released. Defensive backs Raymond Brown -- who had three interceptions, including one that was returned 115 yards for a TD against Winnipeg -- Erik Harris (who had an interception and fumble recovery versus the Bombers), Harold Mutobola (who scored a TD against Winnipeg) and Arthur Hobbs, linebacker Phillippe Dubuisson-Lebon, offensive linemen Mike Filer and Landon Rice, receivers Lyle Leong and Ouslet Volcy were added to the practice roster. Defensive back Michael Daley has been suspended. The B.C. Lions released receiver Elvis Akpla, defensive tackle Chris Clady, tackle Ben Ossai, linebacker Glenn Love, kicker-punter Steven Shott and safety Bobby Davis and placed offensive lineman Adam Baboulas on the nine-game injured list. Calgary also placed defensive back Adam Berger, linebacker Alvin Bowen, defensive linemen Luis Vasquezand Marvin Booker, running backs Jonathan Williams and Charlie Power, offensive linemen Billy Peach and NaShan Goddard and receiver Yannick Morin-Plante on the practice roster. On Friday, the Montreal Alouettes released 11 players, including quarterback Quinton Porter, who spent his first five CFL seasons in Hamilton before being released and signing a three-year deal with the Als.

LAS VEGAS -- Jon Jones struggled for words while his tears flowed. Frustration and fear were evident on his face.Although the man widely recognized as the worlds most talented mixed martial artist denied using any performance-enhancing substances, he couldnt explain the positive drug test that knocked him out of UFC 200s main event and threw his tumultuous career into crisis again.The UFC interim light heavyweight champion repeatedly cried at a hastily arranged news conference Thursday, a day after his rematch with Daniel Cormier was canceled.I would never take anything that would enhance my game, Jones said. Being labeled as someone who would ever cheat, it hurts me more than anything Ive ever been through in my career.Jones manager, Malki Kawa, said the fighter was informed of a possible PED violation by USADA, which administers the UFCs anti-drug policy. They hoped to get the results of a test of Jones backup sample later Thursday, although they have little hope the result will change.If the positive test is confirmed, Jones could face a multiyear suspension. Jones and Kawa declined to name the substance for which Jones was flagged, although Kawa said it could be related to a nutritional supplement.Jones said he cant even pronounce it. Ive never even heard of it.Jones said he has been taking the same supplements for most of his career, and he has no idea why he failed last months test after passing seven doping tests this year. Although Jones had endured numerous public embarrassments over his apparent use of recreational drugs, he has been a vocal opponent of performance-enhancing substances in MMA.You can say whatever you want about Jon over the years, Kawa said. For the last year, hes done nothing but try his best to live his life right, to eat right, to do the right things, and obviously not to be in this type of predicament. ... He didnt cheat at all.USADA spokesman Ryan Madden confirmed the potential violation stemmed from an out-of-competition test on June 16.Mr. Jones B-sample is currently being analyzed by the independent WADA-accredited laboratory in Salt Lake City, Utah, Madden said. We have requested that the laboratory report those results to us as soon as possible.No matter the results of the second test, Brock Lesnars heavyweight bout with knockout artist Mark Hunt is UFC 200s new main event. While fans arrived at T-Mobille Arena to watch open workouts for Hunt and Lesnar, workers tore down oversized posters of Jones and Cormier on the facade.ddddddddddddLesnar, the popular professional wrestler returning from a 4 1/2-year UFC absence, also was the headliner at UFC 100 in 2009, with Jones fighting on the undercard.I feel a little bad for (Cormier), Lesnar said. Guys go hard. They go through training camps and put lots of time in, and thats where D.C. really gets the short end of the stick. Its really unprofessional of anybody of this caliber when something like that happens.Jones (22-1) briefly left the stage at his news conference after being overcome with emotion. Several minutes later, he broke down when asked what he would say to Cormier, his longtime rival and frequent verbal sparring partner.I know this fight meant a lot to him, Jones said. The fight meant a lot to me. ... I know some good will come from this, but right now its hard to see it.Jones talent is indisputable after winning the 205-pound title in 2011 and defending it eight times. But he has endured numerous troubles of his own making in recent years.He has failed drug tests around two of his last three fights. He tested positive for cocaine use shortly before beating Cormier in their first meeting in January 2015, but was allowed to fight because the detected metabolite was not banned for out-of-competition use by the Nevada Athletic Commission.A few months later, Jones was suspended by the UFC and had his title stripped due to his involvement in a hit-and-run accident in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he lives and trains.Cormier won the 205-pound title during Jones UFC suspension, which was lifted in October 2015. After Cormier pulled out of their scheduled April rematch with a foot injury, Jones returned with a victory over Ovince Saint Preux.Jones, who turns 29 later this month, realizes he could have another extended absence from his sport. He has fought just three times since September 2013.If I do have to sit out for two years, Ill definitely be back, Jones said. Im already thinking about the good that can happen. I try to stay optimistic. At the end of the day, Im a fighter, and even though I may seem broken up here, Im not broken. Im just really upset. ' ' '
