Canadian Skier Arrested in Pyeongchang Stolen Car Incident

The Canadian Olympic Committee says it takes the accusations against the athlete “very, very seriously.”

Canadian Olympic skier Dave Duncan was reportedly arrested and released early Saturday after South Korean police said he was involved in the drunken heist of a vehicle. Police in Daegwallyeong said Duncan was with his wife and Ski Cross High Performance Director Willy Raine at the time of the alleged incident, though it wasn’t immediately clear who was behind the wheel. Local media reports say the group made off with a parked Hummer belonging to a 57-year-old tourist in town for the Winter Olympics. Duncan, who police say had a blood alcohol level of 0.16, reportedly told authorities he was “cold” after being apprehended. The Canadian Olympic Committee confirmed that members of the national team were under police investigation but gave no further details. “We have information that individuals attached to our team were involved in the investigation and they're cooperating, and we take this matter, of course, very, very seriously,” Canadian Olympic Committee CEO Chris Overholt told reporters.
