It was revealed that Lombardi had passed the videotapes on to a Canadian assistant coach. Later investigations showed that this was not an isolated incident: drone surveillance had also been conducted during training in New Zealand on July 19. In response, the Canadian Olympic Committee apologized, saying it was “shocked and disappointed” by the violation of fair play rules.
Lombardi and assistant coach Jasmine Mander were removed from Canada’s Olympic team, head coach Bev Priestman was also pulled from the game against New Zealand and all Canada Soccer staff will undergo mandatory ethics training.
