“We’re all human beings,’’ Moosomin’s Jack Thompson said during the Riders’ training camp on the weekend.

“He’s young, he’s made a few mistakes, and sometimes it happens. He’s a football player and as long as he’s able to perform on the field, so be it. We all make mistakes.’’

Carter’s alleged mistakes are still before the courts. The charge for possession in Winnipeg is to be heard on June 4. and the charge from Saskatoon is to be heard on June 14.

“It’s being handled right now,’’ Carter said. “I have my own lawyers and we’re also working with the team’s lawyers and immigration to get a sense (of what’s happening). For me, it’s smooth sailing.’’
