MARSEILLE, France — Canada women's soccer coach Bev Priestman has been suspended from coaching for one year and the Canadian team has been penalized six points during the Olympics, FIFA announced Saturday after investigating charges that Canada staff members used a drone to spy on an opponent's closed practice session last week.
Canada's Olympic women's football team have been deducted six points and their coach Beverly Priestman suspended for a year after a staff member used a drone to spy on a rival team at the Paris Games, FIFA said on Saturday. Canada's football association was "responsible for failing to respect the applicable FIFA regulations in connection with... the prohibition on flying drones over any training sites", FIFA said. It also handed down a fine of 200,000 Swiss francs ($226,000). The ruling is a hammer blow to Canada's hopes of defending the Olympic title they won at the Tokyo Games three years ago.
