The Toronto Argonauts announced on Tuesday that theyve extended All-Star offensive tackle Chris Van Zeyl through the 2016 season. "Chris came to us as a young, Canadian defensive lineman who had a very high athletic ceiling," said general manager Jim Barker in a release. "We have watched closely over the years as he has grown and established himself as one of the top offensive tackles in our league. We are very happy to extend his contract and keep him in Double Blue into the future." Van Zeyl was originally drafted by the Montreal Alouettes 17th-overall in the 2007 CFL Draft as a defensive lineman. He came to the Argos as a free agent the following September and was converted to right tackle. The 30-year-old native of Fonthill, Ontario has made 65 starts for the Argos and was a member of their Grey Cup-winning team in 2012. "I am thrilled to extend my contract with the Argonauts," said Van Zeyl in a release. "Since Ive been here, this team has made it a priority to fill our locker room with exceptional players, as well as excellent coaches from whom Ive learned so much. It is because of this commitment to excellence that I have been able to develop and flourish as a player here." The Argonauts are back in action on Saturday when they host the Calgary Stampeders.

The Dallas-based Fifth Court of Appeals temporarily halted the case at Armstrongs request in March, but ruled on Thursday it doesnt have jurisdiction at this stage of an arbitration matter. A spokesman for SCA Promotions said the ruling will allow the arbitration to proceed. The ruling was a defeat for Armstrong but not a final one. State law will allow him to appeal any final judgment if the panel rules against him. SCA Promotions wants to reopen a 2006 settlement it paid to Armstrong, and sued the cyclist after his 2013 admission to doping during his career to win the Tour de France. The arbitration panel that first approved the settlement agreed to reconsider the case, prompting Armstrong to ask the state courts to intervene. Armstrong attorney Tim Herman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursdays ruling. SCA and Armstrong have been battling since 2005, when the company first tried to withhold the bonus money and sought to prove he doped. Despite producing some of the most serious doping allegations at the time, SCA ultimately agreed too pay Armstrong.dddddddddddd Armstrongs attorneys insist state law doesnt allow SCA to reopen the original settlement, which included a clause that said "no party may challenge, appeal or attempt to set aside" the payment and that it was "fully and forever binding." But given Armstrongs doping admission and SCAs claims that it reached the settlement only because of fraudulent efforts by Armstrong, the arbitration panel agreed to consider the companys case for repayment. The appeals court said it cant step in until there is a final judgment from the arbitration panel. "As a general matter, an arbitration must be complete before appellate review is appropriate," the court wrote in its opinion. Armstrong has faced several lawsuits since admitting last year that he used steroids and other performance-enhancers to win the Tour de France every year from 1999-2005. He has settled cases with the London-based Sunday Times and Nebraska-based Acceptance Insurance. Armstrong settled with Acceptance, which paid him $3 million in bonuses similar to SCA, hours before he was scheduled to be questioned under oath. He also is facing a federal whistleblower lawsuit, as the government wants to recover more than $30 million the U.S. Postal Service paid to Armstrongs teams. Potential penalties in that case could be as high as $100 million. ' ' '
