The avalanche of former players voicing their concerns over the Vancouver Whitecaps and CSA’s handling of an investigation into coach misconduct in 2008 continues to gather momentum.
The Vancouver Whitecaps have asked the Vancouver Police Department for guidance after a series of allegations against a former coach of its women’s team.
Allegations include a coach rubbing a player’s thigh, sending players sexual text messages, making lewd comments about a player’s wet jersey and ignoring a player at practices, games and team meetings after she stopped replying to personal messages from the coach. “ shock, concern and fear,” said Anoop Josan, who was part of Canada Soccer from 2005 to 2008 and the Whitecaps in 2008.
The coach at the centre of the allegations has declined to comment and has been relieved of coaching duties for a local youth team. “In my opinion, the scope of the investigation was actually quite limited, and I think the soccer community deserves to know why the Whitecaps and Canada Soccer chose to conclude it as quickly as they did.
