- Former players release statement on alleged abuse at team
- Action follows Guardian investigation into claims
The Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer and Canada Soccer must take “appropriate action” against any individual who failed to address serious allegations against former coaches Bob Birarda and Hubert Busby Jr.
The statement was released on Monday by Professional Footballers Association Canada (PFACan), on behalf of former Whitecaps women’s team players. It says previous attempts by players to highlight allegations of abuse and inappropriate behavior by coaches at the Whitecaps and within Canada’s youth national teams were mishandled.
