NDP MP Niki Ashton sent a motion to the clerk of the House of Commons heritage committee Wednesday, asking for Bev Priestman to appear before the panel before the end of September
Canada head coach Bev Priestman walks along the touch line prior to a friendly against Mexico, in Toronto, on June 4.The suspended head coach of Canada ’s women’s soccer team could be summoned to Parliament next month to explain how the team got caught cheating by flying a drone over an opponent’s practice ahead of the Paris Olympics last month.
She also wants former head coach John Herdman, analyst Joseph Lombardi and assistant coach Jasmine Mander to be summoned. Priestman denied knowledge of the incident, but on July 25 Canada Soccer CEO and general secretary Kevin Blue said in a statement that information had “come to our attention regarding previous drone use against opponents, predating the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.”
There’s no suggestion the players had any involvement in the scandal, and Canada Soccer is backing a full independent investigation.
