Last Updated Tuesday, September 17, 2019 11:37AM EDT

CALGARY - A Calgary judge has denied Kaillie Humphries' bid to be released by Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton. The two-time Olympic bobsled champion asked the courts for an injunction forcing the national governing body of the sport to release her.The 34-year-old from Calgary has also filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the bobsleigh organization.A BCS lawyer says there wasn't enough evidence to support her claim.

Traitor

Excellent. No way Canada should spend huge sums training BobsledKaillie and then let another country use her skills. Maybe her complaining will stop. If not kick her off the team. Canada doesnt need whiners like her representing them.

Good, now kick her off the Canadian team. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Yes. She should live up to contract based on contract law not drama imo

That's basically the sport equivalent of Treason. Why in the actual hell would ANYBODY want to represent the USA at this point in history ESPECIALLY if you're Canadian. Doesn't seem very Canadian imo.

Good

Good. Maybe we can stop hearing her cry about it...

Good she's lived off the Canadian taxpayer for yrs. why should the US benefit from us?

Let the guy go.....

I worked with Kaillie years ago. She is a fine person and i'm sorry to hear she is having these issues.

If she is not happy there why not give her the release?

Canada is in full “Give away Gift Day” mode almost every day -so let her go-but no $10.4 million for her return-no pensions from Canada and no Canadian passport-my vote has been cast

Makes no sense. You're Canadian. How would that work on an American team?

Money talks and bullshit walks. Let the bullshit walk!!!

It shows that US is a greener pasture

Karma

America!

YourMorning Yes !!!!! now go home

Trash. Let her go.

..so are they at least going to do something about her harassment claims? Guess not huh

Great news. Eat that traitor. Just drop out of it all together. Get a real job, maybe selling shoes. You won't be liked and probably booed.

Who cares...

Shot herself in the foot a bit no?

Seems kind of stupid for Bobsleigh Canada to want to keep an athlete who doesn't want to compete for them Doesn't really set the team up for success
