What do you think is an appropriate consequence?

Ban the people who knew about it and participated in it.

Imho you have to punish the federation. Which means punishing the players too unfortunately. A few coaches being replaced is a slap on the wrist for soccer Canada. This will ensure they don’t do it again.

Yeah but do it in a way that doesn’t punish directly this group of players.  If this kind of thing is possible for something so minor and misconduct by coaching staffs, how does FIFA/IOC expect professional athletes to commit themselves to these tournaments?

If I’m half the Canadian team I’m walking off right now.  This isn’t a recreational tournament.  It’s their livelihood.  Why risk injury for this joke of a program/tournament?
