Canada Faces Sanctions Over Soccer Drone Scandal
News summary

Sport Canada is withholding funding for women's soccer coach Bev Priestman and two other officials following a drone scandal during the Paris Olympic soccer tournament. FIFA docked six points from the Canadian team and banned Priestman, along with Joseph Lombardi and Jasmine Mander, from soccer activities for one year. The drone was used to spy on New Zealand's practice, severely impacting Canada's chances of retaining their Olympic title. Allegations have now surfaced accusing the men's national team of similar actions during the Copa América. Canada's sport minister, Carla Qualtrough, condemned the cheating, calling it an embarrassment to Canadians and a violation of fair play principles. The Canadian Soccer Association is considering an appeal, while former players express their disappointment and support for the current team.
