The Canadian Olympic Committee has apologized for an alleged drone spying incident and announced that two members of its Olympic soccer team’s staff will be removed and sent home.
A member of the Canadian Olympic women’s soccer team was caught using a drone to spy on New Zealand’s practice session on Monday. It’s said to be the second “drone incident” at a New Zealand practice over the past week. As a result, the Canadian Olympic Committee has announced that soccer coach Bev Priestman will not coach the Olympic team’s opening match tomorrow. Two other staffers have been removed from the team and are being sent home from the games.
On Monday, a drone was spotted flying over a practice session held by the New Zealand women’s soccer team in Saint-Étienne, France, a city located about six hours south of Paris. The incident was reported to French authorities who located and detained the drone’s operator, described by the COC as a “non-accredited” support member of the Canadian soccer team’s staff, according to the CBC.
