Canadian Olympic Committee David Shoemaker said Thursday that he fears the drone spy scandal could 'tarnish' the women's gold medal performance in the 2020 Olympics.
The drone scandal surrounding the Canadian women’s soccer team could have bigger implications than just this year’s Games in Paris. Head coach Bev Priestman was removed from her position on Thursday night after two staff members were sent home from Paris after an investigation found that analyst Joseph Lombardi had used a drone to spy on New Zealand's practice sessions.
He also hinted that there could be trouble with Canada’s gold medal performance in Tokyo because of it. CANADA SOCCER STAFFER GIVEN 8-MONTH SUSPENDED PRISON SENTENCE FOR OLYMPICS DRONE CONTROVERSY 'We’ve gathered some additional information ourselves that made me conclude that she was highly likely to have been aware of the incidents here in Saint-Etienne,' Shoemaker told reporters.
