Players want Fifa vice-president suspended after Guardian investigation

Former members of the Vancouver Whitecaps women's team are demanding an investigation into Victor Montagliani's handling of sexual misconduct allegations in Canada

Former Vancouver Whitecaps women's team players fear a proposed investigation by Major League Soccer into the club's response to allegations of sexual misconduct will be a whitewash and fail to adequately address multiple instances of wrongdoing.

The players, who represented Vancouver Whitecaps in the 2008 and 2011 seasons, are supported by Canada's Professional Footballers Association (PFACan) in a call for key club executives to be fired.
