CALGARY - The head coach of Canada's long-track speedskating team is taking a leave of absence less than a month before the Winter Olympics.
Speed Skating Canada says Michael Crowe is on leave "until at least after the Olympic Games."
An internal investigation is under way and there "is currently a process in place," according to the sport's national federation.
The organization didn't offer any more information about what led to the leave.
According to a statement, the team is focused on results at the Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea next month.
"We are confident we have the leadership necessary to allow the athletes to perform at their best in Pyeongchang next month," Speed Skating Canada said.
