There remains a mountain of information to unearth regarding the
allegations facing Canada's 2003 World Junior Championship team, and since the initial report it has been quiet on that front. So far, P.A. Parenteau, Carlo Coliacovo and Jordin Tootoo have spoken out, denying any involvement, but the rest of the group have maintained radio silence.
According to a
story by LaPresse, Simon-Olivier Lorange reports that Daniel Paille was 'deeply saddened' to learn of the allegations, and he denies any involvement in the incident described.
Translated from French, Lorange writes:
"In an email to La Presse a few days ago, Daniel Paillé wrote that he was "deeply saddened" to learn of the existence of these allegations. He added that he had "no involvement" in this case, of which he was not aware until recently. He also said he, like his former teammates who spoke publicly, ready to cooperate with any investigation that would require his testimony."
