The statement came hours after The Globe and Mail published a story detailing the alleged affair between former University of Guelph track and field coach Dave Scott-Thomas and former student-athlete Megan Brown

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Athletics Canada says the allegations of a sexual relationship between a former national track and field coach and an under-age athlete in a newspaper report are “deeply disturbing.”

In a Jan. 9 statement on the school’s news website, the university said it received a complaint in 2006 from a family member of a student athlete, and while an investigation didn’t substantiate all of the allegations, it determined some misconduct had occurred and Scott-Thomas was suspended for four weeks.

Scott-Thomas was fired as a result of that new information. The university said that had it been aware of this information in 2006, it “would have terminated its relationship with Scott-Thomas at that time.”On Saturday, Athletics Canada issued its statement clarifying its position in the wake of The Globe and Mail’s article in which Brown alleges Scott-Thomas “groomed her as a 17-year-old for a sexual relationship.

Coach is abusive for years and everyone is shocked and disturbed. This story has played out 1000 times at various levels of athletics and everyone is surprised. When you go out of your way to ignore it it is easy to pretend you are surprised.

Typical institutional reaction, along with uofg , after the fact: 'serious' and 'deeply disturbing'. During the fact: deny, delay, and betray. allpowertomegan

the coach is a pedophile.. it happens a lot.. the kid needs a social worker to be assigned to them.. to deter the pedophile.

They were deeply disturbing SEVERAL YEARS AGO, when they were originally reported. shame

Come now, more like deeply illegal. Guelph University and Athletics Canada appear to have gone along with a cover-up.

C'est n'importe quoi.

Ya but only since you reported on it! They sound like republican senators
