DARIO ROMERO & ROB MURPHY FINED

Toronto, ON (October 13, 2008) - The Canadian Football League (CFL) announced today that it has fined BC Lion Rob Murphy an undisclosed amount for his conduct involving Edmonton Eskimo Jason Goss in last Friday night's game. 

A thorough review has found that, while Murphy's conduct was clearly inappropriate, and the subsequent involvement of other players compounded the risk to Goss, Murphy's actions alone did not constitute an unnecessary risk to Goss that was severe enough to merit suspension under the new player safety standard established recently by the league.

Edmonton Eskimo Dario Romero was also fined an undisclosed amount for his conduct during the incident.
