Solution to the Calgary penalty is penalizing fake QB slides.

It is in the #CFL rulebook. If a QB or punter fakes a slide (or knee) it is a deadball at the spot of the fake slide and a 10 yard OC penalty. I'm still waiting to see this called.
Yeah. Flag has to come out for the rule to work.
Was called on Tunde Adeleke on a missed field goal return when he was on Hamilton.
Forgot about that one. 2023 week 1 Adeleke assumed the 'punter' position in EZ - ran around to kill time on clock before conceding a safety touch. Andre Proulx threw the flag for a fake knee. Clock was reset.
I feel like they did exactly this in the states after the Kenny Pickett thing?
Rings a bell.
I actually learned this last night but a fake QB slide can fall under an objectionable conduct penalty.
