Rugby Canada has condemned "inappropriate comments" aimed at the women's rugby sevens team after its disappointing performance at the Tokyo Olympics.
"It was an emotional event for a good friend and I let that get the better of me," he said. "I've always played/coached with my heart on my sleeve for this great country. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone.
"But instead I have to sit here once again and share what we've been going through as a team. The consistent hatred we have received from people in our own organization. I'm only sharing because this is what we have been dealing with for months. From private texts, to public stalking online and in person. The bullying and harassment that we have received for coming forward is outrageous and scary at times.
In a statement released April 28, the players said their complaint "explained the psychological abuse, harassment and/or bullying these athletes feel they were subjected to in the centralized training environment."
