FIFA has a policy in place that is essentially to help avoid having players get government involved to overthrow their associations. It's normally associated with smaller associations. The concern that was brought up was that players were directly asking for government to step in to aid in this situation, which was not the case. We had not, as players, asked for government interference.
We held off on replying to the offer from Sport Canada for a financial audit, because the concern was raised by Canada Soccer that if that or something similar were to happen, then potentially we would be kicked out of the World Cup.
