Canada's women's soccer team will be without its head coach as it attempts to win back-to-back Olympic gold medals after she was suspended amid drone-spying allegations in the opening days of the Paris Games. The Canadian Olympic Committee said Thursday that head coach Bev Priestman had been suspended and that assistant coach Andy Spence would lead the defending gold medal team throughout the competition.
Later Wednesday, the Canadian organization said it had learned of another 'drone incident' at the New Zealand team's Friday practice, and announced it was sending home Joseph Lombardi, an unaccredited analyst with Canada Soccer, and assistant coach Jasmine Mander. The group also said Canada Soccer would 'undergo mandatory ethics training.' It added that it had accepted Priestman's decision to sit out Thursday's match between Canada and New Zealand.
