REGINA – Two former Alouettes have lashed out at the organization over the manner in which they conduct their financial affairs.

“It starts from the top and it’s a financial thing,” said Saskatchewan middle-linebacker Henoc Muamba. “There’s been a lot of situations where they’ve promised guys some type of money – and I was one.”

Muamba, a former first-overall draft choice in the Canadian Football League, signed with the Als in late September 2015 – Montreal winning a bidding war against Hamilton and Edmonton. He signed a two-year contract calling for a pro-rated salary of at least $225,000. He dressed for four games, producing 14 tackles and an interception.

But the Als released him last February, before he was due a bonus payment of $60,000. General manager Jim Popp said at the time he attempted unsuccessfully to restructure the deal, while also intimating Muamba had some injury issues.
