Kevin Blue acknowledges in interview with TSN that the investigation has impacted federation’s ability to kick-start plans to advance fundraising efforts.
In February, Canada Soccer hired former Golf Canada chief sport officer Kevin Blue as its chief executive and general secretary.
In an interview with TSN on Wednesday in Montreal, Blue acknowledged that the scandal has been a distraction that has impacted the federation’s ability to kick-start plans to advance Canada Soccer’s fundraising efforts. TSN: Did you have any trepidation taking the job, given what you'd seen happen with Canada Soccer over the past years?
TSN: When you say support, what comes to mind for me is Quinn testifying in Ottawa about how there weren't enough support staff like massage therapists for players at national team events. What comes to mind is Janine Beckie talking about going to a camp when she was playing in Manchester, England and having to fly economy class with double connection to get to Vancouver.
