We were made to understand that Karl Balish had allowed coach Scott McFarlane to rejoin Gymnastics Canada. This person worked with athletes, despite having been fired from Tumblers Gymnastics Centre because of inappropriate behaviour toward a 13‑year‑old girl. He was subsequently arrested.
Mr. Balish also chose Dave Brubaker, Alex Bard and Michel Arsenault to lead national women's teams, from setting up the team to the coaching of an experienced team. Mr. Brubaker and Mr. Arsenault were arrested in December 2017. As for Mr. Bard, he was fired because of concerns regarding his behaviour toward female athletes and players. The CEO at the time, Peter Nicol, would have been informed of these problems, but chose to do nothing.
Why are things done this way at Gymnastics Canada?
