Bev Priestman Removed as Canada Soccer Coach

News summary

Bev Priestman, head coach of Canada's women's soccer team, has been suspended amid allegations of using a drone to spy on opponents during the Paris Olympics. The Canadian Olympic Committee announced the suspension following complaints from the New Zealand team, which reported a drone flying over their practice sessions. Assistant coach Andy Spence has been appointed as the interim head coach while an independent review is conducted. The incident also led to the dismissal of two staff members from the Canadian team.
