The article about John Furlong,

The article about John Furlong, the former Vancouver Olympics CEO, were an attack on his reputation, a judge has ruled. Journalist Laura Robinson had reported that eight First Nations people had been abused by Furlong more than 40 years ago. The matter went to court and the judge ruled that Robinson didn’t verify her sources’ stories or ensure they weren’t contaminating each others’ memories. Robinson had accused Furlong of trying to discredit her work, published in the Georgia Straight newspaper in 2012, portraying her as unethical and cruel, but Supreme Court Justice Catherine Wedge said Robinson’s article was an attack on Furlong’s character, conduct and credibility.
