WCA 'concerned' by 'threatening and intimidatory behaviour' from countries yet to pay its players

WCA issues statement expressing concern over unpaid wages and 'threatening and intimidatory behaviour' from certain countries

The World Curling Federation (WCA) has expressed concern over the "threatening and intimidatory behaviour" from countries that have yet to pay their players. In a statement released on Tuesday, the WCA said it was "deeply concerned" by the reports of unpaid wages and the "threatening and intimidatory behaviour" that some players have faced.

The WCA said it is "committed to ensuring that all players are treated with respect and dignity" and that it will "continue to work with the relevant authorities to ensure that all players are paid their wages in a timely manner."

The WCA's statement comes after a number of players from several countries, including Scotland, Canada, and the United States, have reported that they have not been paid their wages for several months. Some players have also reported that they have been subjected to "threatening and intimidatory behaviour" from officials in the countries where they have been playing.

The WCA has urged the countries that have yet to pay their players to do so immediately and to "cease all threatening and intimidatory behaviour." The WCA has also said that it will "take all necessary steps to protect the rights of its players and to ensure that they are treated with respect and dignity."
