PARIS—Canadian players have not been involved in any unethical behaviour, Canada Soccer chief Kevin Blue said on July 26 in the wake of a drone spying scandal that led to the sacking of women’s national team coach Bev Priestman at the Paris Olympics.

Canada Soccer is hoping world governing body FIFA does not consider sanctions against the country’s national team players amid investigations into systemic drone spying by staff members from the men’s and women’s national teams.
