McFarlane was fired from Tumblers Gymnastics Centre in Orléans in 2013. "I didn't know much about his past," Manjak said Tuesday, adding that he was informed of McFarlane's firing from the Ottawa gym months after he hired him. Over the last two years, McFarlane has also been a guest coach at gymnastics camps in B.C., Saskatchewan and Quebec. Former Canadian Olympic gymnastics team head coach Dave Brubaker was charged with sexual assault by Sarnia police in mid-December. Quebec police are also investigating gymnastics coach Michel Arsenault after a Radio-Canada investigation revealed sexual assault accusations dating back to the 1980s and 1990s.
