Cheating in professional sports with insane sums of money on the line is one thing.
But cheating for women's soccer in the Olympics, when you literally won the gold medal 4 years prior, is just pathetic and shameful. I'm glad they threw the book at them.
They used a drone to spy on the New Zealand women's team. That violated fair play. The article mentions the coach (?) saying that drone use was not limited to the women's team or soccer. I wonder what else will come out?
EDIT: I got a couple things wrong. Here's the actual quote: The head of Canada soccer has acknowledged the drone use was not limited to the women's team or to Paris.
So embarrassing.
What an insane thing.
Must've graduated from the Belichick school of coaching.
Really? You had one shot on a sports spying joke and you didn’t make it about the Astros? Smh
PS: fuck the Astros lol
Ha ha this made me chuckle!
Agreed! Fuck the Astros!
Canada, I am disappointed in you. That was rude. You're supposed to be polite. And your usual mispronounced "sorry" won't cut it!
Oh, Canada...
