Canada Soccer Faces Fallout from Olympic Drone Spying Scandal
An investigation reveals a culture of insufficient oversight, leading to disciplinary actions and resignations.
- Canada Soccer is seeking disciplinary action against former men's head coach John Herdman, despite his non-involvement in the Paris Olympics incident.
- Former women's head coach Bev Priestman and two other staff members will not return to Canada Soccer following the scandal.
- The drone spying incident at the Paris Olympics was part of a broader pattern of unethical practices within the organization.
- Canada Soccer plans to implement measures such as ethics training and an independent audit committee to prevent future misconduct.
- The investigation was prompted by the arrest of a Canada Soccer analyst for using a drone to spy on New Zealand's women's team.
