The general manager of the Saskatchewan Roughriders has pleaded not guilty to a charge of sexual assault.
Eric Tillman was not at the provincial courthouse in Regina, but his lawyer, Aaron Fox, entered the plea on his behalf.
Tillman, 51, has been on paid administrative leave from the Canadian Football League club.
He was charged earlier this year after a complaint by a 16-year-old girl who alleges he sexually assaulted her last summer.
Tillman helped lead the Riders to the Grey Cup championship in 2007.
The Crown has opted to proceed summarily against him, meaning the allegations are considered less serious.
