I'm sorry but that seems so wrong.

When you are hired to do a job you have to do it honourably and hiding a talisman in the ice was not part of the requested package. If I was a U.S. American I would be insulted at this breach of etiquette. If I was the company's president, I would apologize.

I'm not a superstitious person, but many are. I believe my teams won because right there, right then, they were the best in the world. I don't want that feat diluted.

I know I may be making a mountain out of a molehill but the eyes of the world are upon you during the Olympics. I like the fact that Canadians have always been regarded as honest, upfront individuals - not sneaky, dishonourable ones.
