The Irrelevant Doan Controversy

Hello. Much has been made by federal politicians about Shane Doan captaining the Canadian World Hockey Championship team. I think the whole point (what little I've heard) is irrelevant.
First, Doan was never charged with anything. He is only alleged to have made a French racial slur. In fact he sued for character assault.
Second, is the point that Doan shouldn't be captain? Sidney Crosby would be a better choice, but he decided not to play. Doan at least wants to play, which should be worth something.
Maybe Doan shouldn't be playing at all. If so, then why wasn't GM Steve Yzerman informed by the feds that he couldn't choose Doan? Wouldn't that have stopped this controversy?
Why wasn't a similar outrage made by the feds when Todd Bertuzzi was included on the Olympic team? Wasn't he charged with physical assault at the time?
If the feds want a person with great character to be captain, they wouldn't even be able to choose Sir John A. McDonald, the father of Confederation, because he was an alcoholic.
Next time, feds, make your complaints behind close doors. They are irrelevant.
