Canada soccer head coach suspended from Olympics "likely aware" of drone spying: COC
Canadian Olympic Committee chief executive officer David Shoemaker says the head coach of the national women’s soccer team was likely aware drones were used to spy on an opposing country’s practices in France.
Shoemaker made the comments hours after Bev Priestman was suspended from the Olympic Games early Friday morning.
“The most important piece of information that I learned was that, in the interim 24 hours that the CEO of Canada Soccer had been on the ground in St- Etienne, he came to the conclusion that Bev Priestman needed to be suspended. We have seen some of that information. We fully support that it’s the right decision under the circumstances," Shoemaker said.
Two staff members were kicked off the soccer team Wednesday following reports a drone was used to spy on New Zealand practices Monday and last Friday.
