Whether or not that investigation became public isn’t the issue. The issue is the Caps and the CSA had to be seen, either in real time or after the fact, doing everything in their power to expose the truth.If you’ve just joined us, the Whitecaps and CSA are now in the eye of a storm over a situation that took place more than a decade ago.
