While the college is not confirming why the players have been removed, sources tell Global News the decision is connected to the use of the popular street drug, MDMA.

Concerns were brought to the school over the weekend and the college removed the players from the team on Monday night.

“When athletes break their code of conduct, you have to make decisions,” says Avery Harrison, Lethbridge College’s Athletic Director. “Our decision was that players who broke our code of conduct wouldn’t wouldn’t be part of our program anymore.”

Lethbridge Police say they have not received any complaints related to the alleged incident while college officials say they will continue an internal investigation.
