In a statement, the Canadian Olympic Committee announced a list of "sanctions and consequences" after reviewing a drone incident Monday and learning of another last Friday at a New Zealand team practice. It's believed a "non-accredited" staff member used an aerial device to record the New Zealand team during practice, the COC said.
"My reaction was you feel like this program has let the country down," she said. "That, for me, that's why I took the proactive step to do what I felt was the right thing. Irrespective of the details, I'm ultimately accountable for this team."
Canadian women's soccer coach Bev Priestman discusses the drone incidents that sent two team staff members home and explains her decision to remove herself from Thursday's Olympic Games opener against New Zealand.
