Canada will now be without head coach Bev Priestman for the rest of the Paris Olympics.
Canada Soccer announced on Thursday that, after their 2-1 win over New Zealand to kick off the games earlier in the day, Priestman was being suspended and sent home from the Olympics in the wake of their drone spying scandal. Assistant coach Andy Spence will serve as the team's interim coach throughout the rest of the Olympics.
Though a Canada soccer staffer was caught flying a drone over New Zealand training earlier this week in France, which is what sparked the scandal in the first place, the issue has apparently been going on for quite some time.
