Journalist Laura Robinson is firing back at former VANOC boss John Furlong.
Robinson’s lawyer has sent a letter to Furlong’s legal counsel, demanding the former Vancouver Olympics’ CEO apologize for and retract statements made about his client during recent media interviews, including one here on Global BC.

The legal dispute began last year when Robinson wrote an article in the Georgia Straight newspaper, alleging Furlong verbally and physically abused students while he was a teacher in Burns Lakes in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
None of the allegations against Robinson or Furlong have been proven in court.
