A trade between the Ottawa Redblacks and the B.C. Lions was voided Monday night after a player failed a medical exam.

The player in question is Lions defensive lineman Maxx Forde. The six-foot-five, 280-pound lineman played in all 18 games for the Lions last season and had eight tackles, one sack and two forced fumbles.
