Canada Penalized for Drone Spying at Olympics
News summary

FIFA has penalized Canada's Olympic women's football team by deducting six points and suspending head coach Bev Priestman for one year due to a drone spying incident. The violations came to light when New Zealand reported a drone flying over their training session prior to their match at the Paris Games. Alongside Priestman, assistant coaches Jasmine Mander and Joseph Lombardi have also been banned for a year, and the Canadian soccer federation has incurred a fine of approximately $226,000. FIFA determined that the team and its officials failed to comply with tournament regulations prohibiting drone use over training sites. The Canadian federation can challenge the sanctions through the Court of Arbitration for Sport. This incident marks a significant breach of fair play principles in Olympic sports.
