I was watching the Laval at Sherbrooke game on CBC French and was surprised by a penalty call. One of Laval's kickoffs was boucing towards the sidelines when one of the Sherbrooke players touched it but never had control of the ball. The player then stepped out of bounds then came back onto the field and picked up the ball which stayed in bounds. I don't understand French but I know that Sherbrooke got called "illegal participation" and Laval was awarded the ball where the Sherbrooke player had picked up the ball after coming back onto the field of play. I was very surprised that Laval was awarded the ball. Was this the right call in the CIS? Would the call be the same if it happened in the CFL? I've never seen this play before.
