Ottawa's plan to battle abuse in Canadian sports faces skepticism

Share! :D
Some of Canada's most prominent sports figures gathered in Montreal on Sunday to address a crisis threatening the country's athletic excellence.

In the past six months, athletes from at least five different sports have come forward with allegations of abuse within their own teams. The athletes come from sports including gymnastics, boxing and bobsleigh and have brought forward claims of mistreatment against coaches and other officials.

Now, Ottawa is stepping in with a plan to battle mistreatment. But as Dan Spector reports, it's being met with some skepticism.
