Guelph Implodes

Fred, you should really go and hide under a rock somewhere. You aren’t adding anything and this is far to serious for your brand of BS.

That's exactly the point - the athletes, the school and AC enabled him because they had the same attitude as yours. It wasn't you specifically - it was people with attitudes like yours.

Deep gratitude for MB & victims who came forward, and to Globe and Mail for following up.

Every lie that hides a crime only allows more crimes, more corruption.

He will also have alienated himself completely from the larger Guelph/SR community-- assuming he ever had more than fanboy (fan-geriatric, if the above is correct) connection. Because they are largely in shock at the moment, and would be horrified by the things he's been saying here. If this is his idea of helping/defending, he's even more delusional than he comes across.

There isn't going to be any running larger Guelph/SR community. It's over.

Fred you are emotionally sick. 80 year men should not be deciding on consent of high school girls.

Reading that article made me feel sick. I'd heard rumours but this is worse than anything I'd heard. He took her out of a juvenile psychiatric ward and had sex with her in his car...

That's sickening.

Also Globe and Mail really didn't pull any punches - 70 athletes interviewed, hundreds of emails and notes.

So proud of Megan- that was simply brutal. Such a beautiful person, whose reputation was purposely thrown under the bus and is still dealing with this. I hope this helps her heal.

To all those here who knew the truth but defended the actions at Guelph--look in the mirror as to who you are. Seriously. At least Reid and Taylor spoke to the situation, and who knows what everyone "knew", all I know is that I heard the rumours and slander against Megan for years--and that makes me sick.

This was one hell of a piece of journalism. The Globe and Doyle dug deep and have blown the whistle on Guelph. The President, Alistair Summerlee and Tom Kendall (Athletic Director), have a lot to account for here too....that they refused to speak is disgraceful.

Yes - I'm glad they made their reporting so thorough so that the apologists can't attack the article as "unsubstantiated rumors"

How many other girls/women did Dave assault between 2004 and 2019 when the new complaint was received? It is unlikely that he kept it in his pants for 15 years between the two.

Putting him away won't help his victims but it will prevent him from raping and assaulting others.

So Athletics Canada was asked in 2010 to ban a coach for having sex with a minor athlete he coached, and their response was to try and force the victim to share a hotel room with the abuser's wife?

Anyone who refused to speak up needs to be looked into. Literally the only reason not to comment is to protect your own skin if you know you did something wrong.

just going to leave this year......discuss.

Barf. Kim needs to stop minimizing this. DST and speed river are basically the same thing. He was that club.

I wonder if she had read the globe article before writing this?

Rumour has it Dave left the country and may still be abroad.

c'mon Tunt, let's not judge Ms. Major's interpretation of "....one bad event...". Oops, did that sound sarcastic?

I don't live in the U.S. where an avalanche of shite is the norm; I live in Canada where people are protected by a Charter of Rights. Perhaps you do not understand that. And I really don't give a cr@p about your understanding of Canadian law, and your sanctimonious superficial statements.

Yes, he should do time for that.

Only one reason to leave the country before all of this "officially" hit the press ...

I’m protected by knowing you’re full of $hit, you should re-read your posts.

I have dealt with Scott MacDonald, who has shown compassion, care and consideration far beyond what was deemed necessary to involve my children in the program.

Disgusting that someone could say that after knowing the 'special care' he was giving female athletes.

It's not about you Kim, and you'd have a different feel if your daughters were raped. Considering they may have been thought about as a potential target she should re-evaluate her trust.

Great journalism by the Globe. Happy to see quality investigative stories like this coming out. This thread exemplifies why we need a free press and outlets who will do the legwork required to erase doubt.

DST is a creep. My gosh.
