Aubut quits after sex case allegations
Print Edition
MARCEL Aubut resigned as president of the Canadian Olympic Committee on Saturday, three days after stepping aside pending an investigation into an allegation that he sexually harassed a female colleague.
The committee said it had received a complaint against Aubut, 67, last week and had retained a former Chief Justice of the Quebec Superior Court to head up an independent investigation. However, “in light of his resignation and based on the wishes of the complainant,” that investigation has now ended, the COC said in a statement. Aubut, a lawyer and former co-owner of the National Hockey League’s Quebec Nordiques franchise until it relocated in 1995, was a strong advocate for Toronto to bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The city ultimately decided against a bid. The COC announced that four-time Olympian Tricia Smith would replace Aubut as interim President.
