The Canadian Olympic Committee says women’s soccer team assistant coach Jasmine Mander and analyst Joseph Lombardi have been removed from the Canadian Olympic team and sent home after two drone incidents at the Paris Games.

The shakeup came after the COC’s review of a drone incidents in Saint-Etienne. There were reports that drones flew over New Zealand’s practice sessions both Monday and last Friday.

“Joseph Lombardi, an unaccredited analyst with Canada Soccer, is being removed from the Canadian Olympic Team and will be sent home immediately,” COC said in a statement.

“Jasmine Mander, an assistant coach to whom Mr. Lombardi reports to, is being removed from the Canadian Olympic Team and will be sent home immediately.”

The drone was flown on Monday and the incident was reported by the New Zealand Olympic Committee to the police and to the International Olympic Committee’s integrity unit.

“The NZOC and New Zealand Football are committed to upholding the integrity and fairness of the Olympic Games and are deeply shocked and disappointed by this incident, which occurred just three days before the sides are due to face each other in their opening game of Paris 2024,” NZOC said in a statement.

According to the COC, Canada Soccer staff will undergo mandatory ethics training.

The COC also says it has accepted the decision of head coach Bev Priestman to remove herself from coaching the team’s opening game against New Zealand on Thursday.

The Canadian women’s soccer team won Olympic gold three years ago in Tokyo.
