Major League Soccer has announced the launch of an investigation into the Vancouver Whitecaps’ handling of sexual misconduct allegations against former women’s coach Hubert Bubsy Jr.
The Whitecaps women’s side competed in the USL W-League until it was dissolved in 2012.
An MLS statement read: "The investigation will include a review of the club's internal processes and overall culture at the time as well as recommendations on preventative measures to ensure that all players and staff under the Whitecaps organization umbrella work in a safe environment, free of all forms of harassment and fear of retaliation.
"The league and club will publicly release the findings and recommendations of the investigation."
US player Malloree Enoch recently detailed the allegations of inappropriate behavior by Busby in an interview with The Guardian, explaining the incidents occurred between 2010 and 2011.
