MLS hires lawyers to investigate Vancouver Whitecaps’ handling of misconduct claims against two former coaches
Major League Soccer says it has hired two lawyers to lead an independent review of how the Vancouver Whitecaps handled allegations of misconduct against two former coaches.
The league says it has hired Janice Rubin and Melody Jahanzadeh of Rubin Thomlinson LLP to lead the review into the allegations against Hubert Busby Jr. and Bob Birarda. It says Rubin is widely regarded as a leading authority in workplace and institutional investigations and assessments and has conducted workplace investigations in the Canadian Olympic Committee and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.The decision comes after Malloree Enoch, a former Whitecaps women’s team player, accused Busby of pressuring her for sex during his time as head coach.
The alleged offences occurred between January, 1988, and March 25, 2008. The allegations have not yet been tested in court.
