Virtually all of the details regarding the allegations facing Canada's 2003 World Junior Championship team remain unknown, and since the initial report it has been almost silent on that front. So far Carlo Coliacovo, P.A. Parenteau, Jordin Tootoo, and Danial Paille have spoken out, denying any involvement, but the rest of the group have maintained radio silence.

When questioned on the matter by LaPresse, Marc-Andre Fleury repeatedly offered 'no comments,' as reported by Simon-Olivier Lorange. To be clear, nothing should be inferred by this news other than that Fleury simply didn't wish to discuss the situation with this particular reporter, which is totally fair. However, with other players flat-out denying involvement, perhaps it is worthy of note when one doesn't.

Translated from French, Lorange writes:

"Marc-André Fleury, for his part, prefers to remain silent. On Tuesday evening, La Presse invited him to comment on the 2003 allegations. "No comments, thank you," he replied politely twice."

So far, 4 of 22 players on Canada's 2003 WJC team have offered a comment on the incident. More and more details are sure to unearth in the coming weeks.
