An independent investigation concluded that the Vancouver Whitecaps' response to allegations of misconduct by former women's coaches Bob Biralda and Hubert Busby Jr. was serious and "appropriate." I was.
However, according to a report prepared by Rubin Tomlinson LLP attorneys Janice Rubin and Melody Jahanzadeh for Major League Soccer, clubs hired experienced workplace inspectors to "promptly" He acted, but there were problems with the investigation itself.
MLS hired his law firm in November to see how the Whitecaps dealt with sexual misconduct allegations against his 2008 Biralda and his 2011 Busby was investigated. And some of the investigators' findings conclude that Biralda and Busby "appeared to be overly generous," despite evidence of cheating against players.
Bilalda said she also coached the Canadian women's under-20 team, and another independent review published in late July found that Canadian football had been involved with Biralda in her 2008 concluded that it "mishandled" the sexual harassment allegations made against it.
In February, Birarda pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual assault and her one count of sexual exploitation through sexual contact for crimes from 1988 to her 2008. His sentencing trial is set to last until September 2nd. He was the head coach of the Whitecaps women's team and forced him to have sex with a former player in 2011. The allegations have not been verified in court.
Busby denied the allegations.
Both coaches have left the team following the allegations.
