Canada's players call for change
The players, which make up over half of those who have ever been involved in Canada’s centralised sevens programme, include long-serving stars Ghislaine Landry, Karen Paquin and Elissa Alarie,. They had made an initial formal complained in January kickstarting an independent review of what was going in inside the sevens programme. Former head coach John Tait resigned earlier this week when the review found that the though the conduct described in the complaint reflected the experiences of the athletes, it did not fall within the unions policy’s definition of harassment or bullying.
