But if so, if there is an opening, and if the way that the investigators have treated is out of the lines of legality, then I will take action. “What I am really proud of is the FAI did not jump to conclusions without talking to me and investigating a bit further whereas normal practice is if it’s out there and you’re accused, then you’re guilty.” Marc Canham said to me in a meeting this morning where I said I wanted to face the press – he said ‘I’ve been there in Marbella [in camp for a friendly] and I’ve seen you encourage the players to eat more as they need more than what they have eating. I was the one to say, 'I want you to look me in the face'. Then I decided to do the interview myself with the experiences I’ve had in the NWSL in those eight months. I said, then I would like to know the guidelines I want you to send it to me, because why is this?’. The medical staff was not at this moment in the room so we had discussed and I had agreed I would encourage them to eat more, not less. I was the one to say, 'I want to be honest and open. I just care that they have enough energy in their body to execute their tasks. There was a bit of debate, 'Should we face the press?' I said, 'Of course we'll face the press' because I'm always open and I'm always honest. So I question myself but I do not recall any moment of disrespectful behaviour of anyone, I have always been busy to stop disrespectful behaviour, from players, staff.
