Two-time Canadian Olympic gold medallist Kaillie Humphries has asked a Calgary judge to allow her to compete for the U.S. bobsled team.
Lawyer Jeffery Rath argued there is no reason Humphries should be denied the release letter the U.S. team is requiring since she is no longer contractually obligated to BCS. But BCS lawyer Arif Chowdhury told Anderson an independent review of her allegations found no evidence of harassment. He noted there’s a Skate Canada rule which says athletes who benefit from federal funding agree not to compete for another nation for as many years as they have received support from Canada.
there's just something wrong with this whole story. how she thinks she can just walk away and compete against her country. and we should be ok with that. it's wrong in so many ways ..
Out with the old. In with the young. Let her go to the US so she can deny someone their dream.
seems extreme....
Canada paid a hell of a lot to train her. If she wants to represent the US, pay us back the money invested.
