- Sources unsurprisingly say that drone surveillance occurs on the men’s team as well<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Men’s team is now coached by John Herdman, former coach of the Canada women’s team who also suddenly started to have a miraculous turn around after Herdman’s coaching began<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- There have been previous accusations of drone surveillance under Herdman as well<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Lower level members of the coaching team claimed they are\u00a0bullied into doing the surveillance: \u201cIn a couple of scenarios, people have been pushed and have been told, \u2018You have to give 110 percent and this is part of the job so if you don\u2019t feel comfortable with doing this, you do not have a place on the team\u2019,\u201d the source said. \u201cIt\u2019s not something that\u2019s talked about and it\u2019s not something there are a lot of text messages about because of how sensitive this is. Some of the people who have had to do the filming or review the filming have said to a few staff members how uncomfortable it was for them.\u201d<\/i><\/li>\n
