T-S-N reports it has spoken with three people who have watched a video allegedly showing approximately six players from the 2003 team appearing to sexually assault a non-responsive woman laying face up on a pool table.

One of the three sources told T-S-N that one of the players borrowed their video camera during the tournament in Halifax and the graphic recording was still on the camera when it was returned to them.

That person said they were pressured by the players to delete the video and that they never reported it to police.
