History drone.
A Canadian drone flew over the training camp of New Zealand, the Canadians’ group opponents this Thursday. A man was identified by French authorities in Saint-Étienne and subsequently arrested on espionage charges. In a press release, Canada clarified that this is one “unaccredited member of the Canada Soccer support team.”
Coach Bev Priestman apologized this Wednesday and is leaving the Canadians’ bench for at least their first Olympic game. “On behalf of our entire team, I would first like to apologize to the players and staff of New Zealand and the players of Canada. These actions do not represent the values our team defends. I am responsible for leading our team. For this reason, and to underline our team’s commitment to integrity, I have decided to voluntarily step down from my role for Thursday’s game. In the spirit of responsibility, I am making this decision in the best interests of both teams and to ensure that everyone knows that the spirit of sportsmanship will be maintained in this game », commented the coach of the reigning Olympic champion. His assistant, who is responsible for recruiting the drone pilot, returns to Canada.
And all this while the Olympic flame hasn’t even been lit yet.
