加拿大冰舞冠军因袭击指控退出加拿大锦标赛

Canada’s ice dancing champion Nikolaj Sorensen and his partner Laurence Fournier Beaudry have withdrawn from Canadian figure skating championships in Calgary due to an investigation into an alleged sexual assault claim.

Sorensen denies the allegation but has withdrawn due to its potential as a distraction. The pair are heralded athletes, with prior success at the national and international level.

The investigation is ongoing and skate Canada is supporting provisional measures in compliance with Abuse-Free Sport’s Director of Sanctions and Outcomes directives.

小编点评

The investigation into the recent allegations against some of Canada's most prominent athletes is shocking and concerning. The measures employed show the need for fair and legal treatment as well as to protect all parties involved.
