Canadian Football League commissioner Mark Cohon has issued the following statement on the Winnipeg Blue Bomber-affiliated scout who was kicked out of Hamilton Tiger-Cats practice on Tuesday: “The Commissioner has fully reviewed the incident that was brought to his attention yesterday. The Commissioner has informed the Winnipeg Football Club, and all Member Clubs, that this type of practice is unacceptable and similar incidents in the future may result in disciplinary action. “Yesterday’s incident involving Winnipeg is being managed internally.” The Bombers will issue their own statement once practice is completed later this afternoon. Robert Trentini, a Hamilton-based scout, was ejected on Tuesday after being spotted taking dozens of pages of notes during the Ticat workout. He was previously accredited by the Bombers for the Toronto Argonaut-Saskatchewan Roughrider game last Saturday and for a Ticat preseason contest. Ed.tait@freepress.mb.ca
