Suspended QB Kelly on field at Argos rookie camp, not participating in drills

Toronto Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly was back on the field Thursday, just two days after being suspended by the CFL for violating its gender-based violence policy.

Kelly was on the field on the second day of Toronto's rookie camp at the University of Guelph, but not in equipment. Dressed in shorts, a long-sleeved shirt and ball cap, he appeared to be working with Argos quarterbacks.

Afterwards, Toronto GM Mike "Pinball" Clemons told reporters Kelly's presence was within the conditions of the CFL's discipline. A league spokesman said Kelly was on the field at the Argos' discretion.

"He [Kelly] was there but did not practise," Clemons said. "He's allowed to be out here, the league has given him that permission and we will follow the league's direction."

Kelly was the CFL's outstanding player last season after leading Toronto to a league-best and franchise-record 16-2 mark. But the Argos' campaign ended with a 38-17 loss to the Montreal Alouettes in the East Division final.

The CFL investigation came after a complainant filed a statement of claim with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, alleging a pattern of harassment by Kelly, beginning with unwanted romantic advances and escalating into instances of threatening language.

The coach said the Argos didn't act when told of Kelly's behaviour and
