Weeding out the Competition: Alexander hoping to continue career with B.C. Lions
KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Frank Alexander doesn’t really want to talk about what brought him to the CFL.
The imposing defensive lineman knows people will be interested in how he found his way to B.C. Lions’ training camp after three suspensions for failed drug tests related to marijuana use while playing for the Carolina Panthers.
But it’s clear he’s more interested in looking forward instead of back at his time in the NFL.
“They’re going to do what they’re going to do,” Alexander said philosophically of the strict drug policy south of the border following a recent practice session. “It’s their business. They run it how they run it.”
