Canada football coach apologizes over Olympic spying scandal

Saint-Étienne, France — Canada's disgraced women's soccer coach Bev Priestman on Sunday apologized for the spying scandal that has rocked their Paris Olympics campaign and promised to cooperate with an investigation. Priestman said she was "absolutely heartbroken" for her players, in a letter issued by her lawyers and published by Canadian media. It was released just before the team, the reigning Olympic champions, claimed a dramatic 2-1 win over hosts France to keep their hopes alive at the Paris Games.
