Troubles mount for CFL's SmithREGINA, Saskatchewan (AP) - A Canadian Football League player police say is HIV positive appeared in court Friday on a second charge of aggravated sexual assault.

Linebacker Trevis Smith of the Saskatchewan Roughriders and formerly of the University of Alabama allegedly had unprotected sex with a woman without telling her he was HIV positive. The complaint was filed on Oct. 29, one day after Smith was charged with aggravated sexual assault in British Columbia.

When he was freed on bail last month, Smith was ordered to practice safe sex, tell all future partners he's HIV positive and surrender his passport. He faces similar restrictions in the second case.

Smith was not at Wednesday's brief court hearing for the first charge, but his lawyer and lawyers for the Crown attended and a court date was set for May 1.

The case has raised questions over privacy in the workplace, fears some players might have about playing against an HIV-positive opponent and an employer's responsibly for protecting the public.

The Canadian Public Health Association is offering information packets to all nine CFL teams to help educate players and management about HIV and AIDS.

"If there's material that can help that process ... then we would be more than happy to take some information they have," CFL commissioner Tom Wright said.

Smith, a starting middle linebacker, was placed on the Roughriders' disabled list after the arrest and hasn't played since. The team's season ended Sunday with a playoff loss to Montreal.

"He is still dealing with the situation and spending time with his family, and so we move forward from there and he will remain there until further notice," Barrett said.
