The Canadian Olympic Committee has taken the decision to remove women's national soccer head coach Bev Priestman from her position for the remainder of the Paris Games following an alleged drone spying scandal. Assistant coach Andy Spence has been appointed to lead the defending gold medalists for the rest of the tournament.
The controversy arose when two team staffers were accused of using a drone to spy on a New Zealand practice, leading to their immediate dismissal. Priestman, who denied any involvement, did not attend the team's recent victory over New Zealand as FIFA and the International Olympic Committee launched investigations into the matter.
