TORONTO (AP) — The Canadian Football League says it is investigating allegations made by a former Toronto Argonauts strength and conditioning coach who alleges to have been wrongfully dismissed after being harassed by quarterback Chad Kelly. The league said it has opened the investigation in accordance with its gender-based violence policy. The coach filed a statement of claim with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice last week alleging a pattern of harassment by Kelly that began with unwanted romantic advances and escalated to threatening language. The coach said the club did not act when told of Kelly’s behavior. The Argonauts said in a statement the club will cooperate with the investigation.
