On the surface I certainly agree with the action of the CFC, but I also believe in our judicial system which says 'Innocent until proven guilty'. I strongly support the CFC in bringing this matter to justice and I understand if we do not get all the facts here. I do have a hard time saying the person is guilty until I hear all the evidence, but it would arguably be a lot worse if he was allowed to play again. The CFC executive's decision seems right as stated below.

'If he returns to Canada, he can request a hearing with the CFC board and we can hear and deal with his case. Until such time, he is banned from playing in CFC rated events and banned from attending CFC tournaments.' Yes, this seems prudent and seems the least we can do at this time. I assume our lawyer, Patricia, agrees with this action.
