Only in Canada...this reminds me of Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis...we crucify Johnson for steroids (turns out they faked the test even though he was cheating), while Lewis cheats and he is still a hero for the Americans...

The Olympics reputation is worse. Just cancel the whole thing it ruins cities and nobody watches

[koalabrownie]

At risk? It's already tarnished.
Funny though how FIFA fast tracked discipline against Canada here, but did nothing against Uruguay players fighting in the stands.

Of course our reputation just went to the toilet. Well done priestman, well done Canada Soccer.

gotta love leadership in Canada even in hockey. Leadership in Canada is crap

[markskids]

More third world status indicators for Canada and our new third world sporting community.

Someone got to speak out what the footages have been used for. This really hurts the players who are real athletes.

Money for soccer spying equipment But no money for national security

It’s soccer that’s not the reputation that needs fixing I’d say start with Trudeau.

So will canada need to compete like russian olympians have to?

Leadership in all Canada sports has been compromised in recent history. The history goes well back in Canadian sports . Cover ups …. Abuse … Cheating. An overhaul in all these sports should be set out… but why has it only come to recent history for all the past misdeeds. It all comes down to everyone in these organizations cover for the past, the present and the future. A complete failure by Canadian sports !

I think the biggest shocker here is that Canada thought it had soccer teams 🤣

[randywright]

Every sport has scouts analysts tacticians and probably lawyers to seek out information on opponents for upcoming games the drone was a bit much don't you think but no biggy everybody get over it

[cornelia]

Canadians are supposed to be better than that. How mortifying.

[boardapalooza]

The sport of Drama Queens, FIFA dictates who wins before play starts. Maybe inline betting and parlays are lucrative when fixing.

[OvieSnips]

Canada just needed to change their name to the New England Patriots and have Tom Brady on the roster and they would have been fine.

[patrickoconnor]

The Olympic Games is another anomaly of the last century and is now quite irrelevant.

If all the best athletes in the world can no longer compete together and among themselves, then there is no ‘International Olympic Games’.

All things must pass.

The guilty are Ben Johnson 2.0. More shame to Canada.

[laurabellinger]

There are a DISGRACE and should have the funding pulled. Maybe that will teach them.
