Michael Sam Leaves Alouettes Training Camp For Personal Reasons
Michael Sam has left the Montreal Alouettes' training camp and returned home for personal reasons, the team said Friday.
"With all due respect for Michael Sam, the nature of this decision will remain confidential," the Alouettes said in a statement, which said Sam had returned home.
"The Montreal Alouettes fully respect Michael Sam's decision and rally around him to offer him all time and support needed. The team has left the door open and Michael is welcome to come back whenever he feels ready."
Sam, 25, signed a one-year, $100,000 contract with the Canadian Football Leagueteam last month that included a $150,000 option for 2016.
