MONTREAL (AP) — Marcel Aubut has resigned as president of the Canadian Olympic Committee while under investigation for a sexual harassment complaint.
The committee said in a statement Saturday its investigation now ends. Since the original complaint, two other women made allegations against Aubut.
The committee calls the matter “deeply concerning,” saying it has had a “profound impact on our Olympic family.” The committee adds that its board will begin the process of appointing an interim president in the coming days.
Aubut already had temporarily stepped aside as committee president and chairman of the Canadian Olympic Foundation.
